Connecting people.
Serving the community.
From the home station in Port Richey to Florida’s parks and emergency operations, amateur radio is where technical curiosity meets public service.
I’m a General Class amateur radio operator active on HF, VHF, and UHF. I enjoy making contacts, refining station capabilities, activating parks, and helping strengthen resilient communications across Pasco County.

Taking radio
into the wild.
Parks on the Air combines portable operating, the outdoors, and the challenge of building a capable station away from home. Florida’s Gulf Coast parks provide the backdrop.
