My Resume

Return to  
 Home page.

I am a home automation technologist and since 2002 I have worked in the home automation industry. In 2005, I started my own company called McKinney Smart Homes.

Then in 2010 I started teaching at ITT Technical Institute on a part time basis.

Prior to the home automation industry, I spent 27 years in telecommunications as a network planner, design engineer, project manager, computer support engineer, and technical writer.




About 1987 or so I decided I wanted to get into collecting something. I did not know what. Just something. Slide Rules seemed like a good fit.

The telephone collecting end of it was actually by accident. Since I worked in the telecommunications industry, I had an interest in the end instrument. That being the telephone. So collecting telephones and telephone related items kind of, just sort of happened by itself. As time permits, I have been adding items to my telephone collecting web site.
