About scottdave

After learned about electronics and RADAR in the US Navy, I decided to pursue an engineering degree. At Texas A&M University, I got a job as a helper in the Maple computer lab, while getting my BS in Electrical Engineering. I enjoy helping others to learn about math and science.
I play double bass in two community orchestras in the Houston Texas area.
