Name:John R. Fairchild CMS, age:51, born 11/19/1958, served 4 yrs in USAF May 1977 to May 1981, Worked on weapons control systems on F-4D fighters (radar, lead computing optical sight systems, and TV guided missle video display) Grew up on a small farm (120 acres) in Iowa and rebuilt my first engines and transmission during my teens. Spent the remaining years of my life doing Electrical, HVAC/R, and appliance repair (domestic and commercial). Currently laid off and starting up my own repair and service business. I love to downhill ski, rock & roll and some country music, racing (automotive and boat), bowling, fishing, reading (political and Sci-fi, science and technology). I am also a frustrated inventor that has a few different items ready to go to prototype as soon as I can get ahold of an appropriate amount of R&D money. We're talking world changing inventions. I've got a line on some possible funding for one of them, so wish me luck.
