Yay! Vocational Industrial Clubs of America! Back in the 1990s I represented my state and won the silver medal at VICA's Nationals competition for Electronics Technology one year, and bronze the next year. Both were for the post-secondary division after high school, though high school was where I gained most of my electronics education before becoming an engineer. It's awesome that you got your start in electronics the same way. I'm still always out to learn something new, and you're right up there with some of the best electronics educators on RUclips! Thank you, Eddie!
Wow! Such a inspiration for a engineer student like me. Thanks for sharing all those years of knowledge with us and hope for a lot more to come. Have a nice weekend as well :)
Hey Eddie, thank you for opening up! You just confirmed what I was thinking all the time. It takes about 15min to tell if the person in front of you knows what he/she is talking about or not. after 5min of one of your videos I knew I was watching an expert :) Also my congratulations to your marriage! you know, a great man is supported by a great person in the shadows.
Hi and Wow!, and truly understated (English Jeans?), Congratulations!, they say, '3rd time lucky!', was true for me. Thanks' for the great no nonsense videos, Audio & Power supplies are my love also. Stay safe, & all the best. Phil UK
I am brand new to your channel the RUclips algorithm recommended this video because I watch a lot of electronics engineering videos in an attempt to fill in the missing gaps that my formal education left me with. Thank you for sharing the tour of your career. As someone who is seeking the right niche the vast ocean of the electronics industry, I would find it super interesting and helpful to hear you talk about the skills you had going into each new job and the skills you acquired at said job/company which in turn allowed you to become a desirable candidate for the next job. As I hit the subscribe button I thank you in advance.
Making a video and editing the night before his wedding... What a guy. It shows your dedication to your channel. Thanks for sharing your experiences with us!
Nice resume, your qualified. I think the battery controllers on the electric cars, & the power supply's for them will be an enourmous new field. GM, has a Hummer, 1000 hp electric vehicle , If you charge it for 10 minutes =100 mile range. It has range of 500 miles. So with a vehicle that big, think of that power train , lets say in Ford Fusion, or a Malibu, & that range. Modified sine wave, vfd drive...
I remember an instructor in college who taught , the intro to electronics, 16 week semester, he had a double masters from IIt, in Illinois . He had a discussion about disruptive technology, were there. The oil industry is old, monied & very political ?
Congrats on getting married Eddy! Hope you both had a magical day, and cant wait to see whats in store next! By the next one maybe ill have my overheating/oversaturated inductors figured out for my nixie boost supply! Keep up the fantastic work!
Congratulations Eddie! I hope you had a wonderful day. Good to hear from you even if it's just on RUclips. I have always admired your expertise. We sat close to each other in building R when I first hired on with the company. Take care!
Thank you Sy! I remember our times in BLD R;) Nice coloring;) I'll miss working with you but know they are in good hands with you still there! Hope to stay in touch - even if it is on RUclips;)
Great idea to give us your resumé and really generous to give your time to producing these videos. Congratulations on your marriage - I'm guessing you'll be on honeymoon by now, if that is at all possible in the US! IOMega were really popular in the day - I had my share of zip drives etc - but I guess it was never going to survive the expanding capacity of disk drives at lower and lower prices. Not many people can say they worked on the ISS, I'd like to be able to have that one under my belt. There were a lot of ads interrupting this video, is that the way of RUclips these days?
Thanks Andrew! Great to hear from you! We had family come in and I think for now that will do the trick;) It will be nice to get away though... IOMEGA had some great ideas when they got started, but silicon is hard to compete with. Yes I have been lucky to get around and land in some good roles. I hope this RUclips turns out to be the best. I just got to find more time:) I think my new job won't be asking for me to work so much OT. BTW, when I worked on the ISS, I clocked over 90 hours in two different weeks! Sorry about the ads. Maybe they decided my video was worth advertising in;) If this continues to be a problem I think I can work it out. I'm still learning all the ins and outs of this.
Thank you for sharing so much of your life! It was really interesting, and confirmed a lot of things I had been thinking! Though, now I feel silly for mentioning my power supply project, it must seem so trivial to you! Congratulations on this new chapter in your life, I really hope your wedding goes wonderfully, and that you both have just the best life together!
Thank you Robin! And nothing is trivial - it's all fun;) Please keep mentioning your work. It seems that much ground is covered and then covered again - and each time there is a new nugget;) I really appreciate your words and you of course!
I still use zip drives. You just gave away the secret to the zip drive. I always wondered how they could spin a thin media without it wobbling.... neat.
First time I saw your video's ,I thought this guy is the real deal, thank you for your generosity & sharing your experience, daughter I have two of those love them dearly, I've been with my wife 35 Years, I got lucky I think 3rd time I think you've had enough practice at it now , I have a good feeling number 3 is the one, all my hopes and best wishes for you & your Wife, are good happy one's, it always comes right , for the good guy like you.
Thank you Joe! It was very nice! Small but nice. These days have made changes in the way things are done - but hopefully things will get back to a more normal. I appreciate your kindness!
Impressive resume, glad you shared. You’ve always been interesting to listen to. Love your laugh, it’s infectious. So lucky to call you my uncle. Congrats to you and Mindy. Lots of love your way!
Another European here. From Austria in my case. I have a similar perspective on work. Always choosing the jobs that seem more fun. Just not as successful as you. But I am happy at where I am at. Thanks for the insight. That was very inspirational. And also thanks for all the other great videos you are doing and sharing all your knowledge. It's highly appreciated!
Through the storms of life, may your love for one another be steadfast and strong. Wishing you joy and happiness on your wedding day. Congratulations! 🎉🎊 Would be awesome if you would share more in depth of power supply design 👍🏻 Best wishes from Germany
Thanks for the in-person brief! I had looked you up on LinkedIn and gotten the major portions filled in and found that you weren't a pretender at all. It is a rare breed that has this extreme technical expertise combined with the personality and skills of a genuine human with an empathetic and outgoing bent. It really is no wonder you have done as well as you have (but you're never going to get rich in Utah :) Best wishes to you on your third time around...may it truly be the charm!
Thank you Tim! I appreciate you! That is very nice of you to say. You are right, Utah is not a place to get rich;) I dropped my salary in half when I moved back. Great to hear from you!
Thanks for tell your own story, you really have a lot of experience with knowledge, amazing chance with military business. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us.
We love ya Eddie, you feel real which is more than I can say for a lot of content creators. Stay safe man! Oh... and fantastic news about the marriage, that's bloody great news!
Hi Eddie, that's an impressive resume you have there! You mentioned recently there are some changes coming. I hope your new employer appreciates your talents and qualities as an engineer and as a human being. Congratulations on your marriage too, man! I wish you and yours a happy and fulfilling life together....it's love and happiness makes the world rotate. :) Thanks for posting and be well!
Congratulations on your marriage!! Sending Love from Canada. I'm young but you give me hope for my outlook on the future because I too have had some ups and downs (like everyone I imagine) and sometimes get stuck on doubt, this video made me feel like things still can work out. Wanted you to know that
I know my comment is very late (bout 2years or so 😂), but I felt like I needed to say thanks to you. Thank you for sharing your life experiences with us. It's a lifetime journey that really ends up defining us and is actually quite personal. Im not sure I'd be able to go on youtube & tell everyone all about my career choices etc. So I just wanted to say thanks for sharing, It sounds like you've had some pretty interesting jobs & done some rather incredible work. I thoroughly enjoyed hearing about it. Also a big thanks for sharing your knowledge with us all & a for great channel!
Well before you get too big to personally respond to your commenters I'd like to say that I really appreciate you taking the time to share your knowledge and expertise with all of us. Your background is pretty incredible and as someone else already said your intellectual generosity and humility in consideration of your curriculum is unbelievable; hearing about the first big D after 13 years got me right in the feels and I'm glad you were able to make it through with your amicable nature intact. Hope things continue to go well for you. Only recently found your channel after seeing your Fluke rant about them being overpriced :P This video helped clear up whether you knew what you were talking about. You certainly do. :)
Just found your channel, referral from another YTChannel, and wish you the very best on your marriage. I also worked in the contractor-defense world for L3 and others so I very much look forward to viewing your videos in the coming months. I especially love analog since I started my electronics career at Peavey Electronics and gained a lot of my experience there. Be well and stay safe.
@@KissAnalog Yeah, working there was great for my first job in the electronics industry. I got to work at several departments (mixer boards, top box aka guitar amps, speaker plant, and QC on PCB assembly.) so it was a great three years because of the exposure to so many things.
Amazing background. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us! You and Terry Dayton (D-Lab) are former Air Force. Congratulations on number 3! I gave up after number 2.
Thanks Paul - that's really cool to hear! I have watched D-Lab and will have to again;) I appreciate you and - never give up:) Well I did too - and then - surprise;)
You sir, are an inspiration, when it comes to your channel and power supplies...... don´t go asking about marriage because that´s out of the question. Hope you live happy with this new marriage. Love your series about boost converters and the current probes for oscilloscopes.
Thank you Mario! I appreciate you! I'll get back to the DC/DC converters soon. And the measurements. Thanks - I'm still trying to work out the females in my life;)
Congratulations on your wedding I think you've had it now lol I was thinking of this what about designing a switch mode power supply for Valve equipment something lacking and people don't understand, maybe universal that can be used in Multiple valve types of equipment. I think people missing the opportunity with valve Gear to Changer power supply from the old type Transformers to smps, you seem like the guy that would build a very good switch-mode power supply, maybe sell the blueprint and a kit and do the build on RUclips bring some revenue in. What is the best frequency to run a switch mode power supply for audio equipment 120 kilohertz or should it be higher? Some advice how do you find luck in love doesn't come my way
Thanks John! I need all the luck I can get;) I have actually thought about that, and the lack of PS for Valve equipment. I think many must think that it is crazy to mix old with new - but why not;) Thanks for the feedback and ideas!!
Congratulations, very excited for you. I hope everything goes smoothly for you tomorrow, and if they don't, just relax and smile. Keep the videos coming, they are progressively getting better👍
I watched a video where you tested some probes , and i thought this guy seems nice and to the point, so i just subscribed without much thinking.. boy am i surprised , my intuition might be better then what i thought
Enjoy the channel. Looking forward to you doing more repairs. I ordered an Astro AI meter off your recommendation and I have to say for 11 bucks it is a great meter. I did some measurements compared to my Fluke and it was really close on all of them.
That's great - thank you! I'm glad that it was interesting - I wasn't sure about doing this, but with the wedding and such - I thought maybe it is a good time;)
Thanks for sharing. I've built an audio lab at home also. Started from Playing guitar and restoring tube guitar amps. But you need test equipment to do that and it turns out that restoring vintage test gear is just as fun as fixing audio gear. Go figure. You put a lot of effort into explaining the gear and tests. That's why I love your videos. BTW, 3rd time is a charm. Congrats.
I’m new to your channel and have learned a lot from your videos. Your resume is very impressive, especially with power supplies. I enjoy your channel and best of luck with your new marriage.
Congratulations. I caught onto your channel because my kids are getting into electronics and trying to get ideas on setting up a home lab for them. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Cool background! I also was in my high school electronics classes, and loved it. Someone brought in some Apple 2+ computers (80's tech, lol), and that ruined me for the electronics side, although I now wish I had stayed there!
Fly by wire still use hydraulics, but it did take the spools and valves out of the cockpit and replaced them with solenoids and other remote valves closer to the mechanical load areas. Replacing miles of hydraulic lines and accumulators for miles of wire and relays. Please do not think I'm trolling you, sometimes it takes someone of lower intelligence to explain things to the masses. I love your videos please keep them coming.
Hi Eddie. Very interesting background. Good to know (as a fellow engineer) I am not the only one interested in design and not simply moving up into management. Good work!
Thanks for the feedback! I like the design work, but maybe management would have payed better:) Actually field sales was a nice paying job that I turned down;)
It is nice to know about your background, but I would like to hear a lot more details! I am sure you could talk for hours about different projects you have done, different clever solutions to problems and such. I would tune in to that for sure at least :)
thanks for sharing :) i wish i could have a career like you. Right now I'm at a junction at my life where i have to decide between research field or a engineer at a private company. I really like to go for a career in embedded systems so I'll probably not go for resesrch work.
Hi Eddie, really interesting. I really enjoy your video. You have a lot of really nice comments, each one of the nice comments it’s a part of you that I know, but I think diegooo1972 said in a few short words some of the things that I just love about you. Congratulations on your marriage.
Eddie i so admire you for telling us where your passion in electronics has taken you. For me it's next impossible as an electronics guy to openly talk about stuff like this as it's personal i guess and for me i fear what others will think of me, so thanks for making a vid on this topic. Congrats on the marriage too, that's so great you have a special someone else to share your life. Final question... was the beeping the low-battery alarm on your wireless mic setup which was already doing some nasty random audio noise from the start?
Thank youxpeteb2! I understand and I didn't plan to do this but had a few ask, so I thought people deserve to know something about me if they are going to listen;) This channel has been an interesting experience! Glad to have you here and thanks for the feedback! I replaced the cable so I think that was the problem - bummer it happened on this video.
Thank You for SHARING your professional and analytical skills, we are all connected and sharing your knowledge can help many people in the world, God Bless You. Kiss Analog.
Hi Eddie, I just stumbled across your channel a few weeks ago and I love the content. I am just an amateur who loves electronics and computer stuff and I follow a number of the electronics channels on youtube. I think you have an amazing resume and built up a lot of experience over the years. It is really great you are sharing that knowledge with us. We can all learn from that which is great. I thank you for sharing this personal story and hope to see more interesting projects in the future. And congrats with your marriage! My best from The Netherlands! (is it only me or was there something wrong with the audio in large parts of this video?)
I love your Channel, i stumbled over it while i was looking for Content relating to class d Amplifiers, cause i have a problem with different output volumes. Abd i wanted to know, how the powersupply works. And i aint a electric engineer, just interested in new things. Really great and nice Content. Greetings from germany 😉
I know this was a while ago, so I am a bit late to the party so to say. I saw your other video about a book the I accidentally found and decided to read which was Power Supply CookBook 2nd edition by Marty Brown I think. I thought it was interesting but I also found out that some of the information in that book was incorrect as well as some reviews sort of bashed it a bit. Anyway this was a second video that I watched and I must say that I find this very interesting. If I understand right, you don't have a formal EE degree but you have been in all sort of positions of that caliber? Nevertheless, very interesting video, thanks for upload. I just love that the fact that you did what you liked, like insisting on just trying to get to Utah and did not really care much about the money.
Thanks for your great feedback. Actually I do have an engineering degree, but I was given a full engineering promotion at Lear Astronics as I was doing the work as an EE before I actually graduated. I was finishing my last year at UCLA but was also working full time. I became a senior engineer just 1 year after graduating;) I started off fast and have been busy ever since;) The Marty Brown book is an easy read and is mostly correct, so I think it is a good starter book. He is an actual design engineer - where a lot of people writing books are teachers and not real design engineers;)
What book do you recommend for power supply design ? I've heard some good things about "Abraham Pressman -Switching Power Supply Design" . Do you think its good ? Thanks.
I went to a seminar held by Abraham back in the day. I think there were 5 of us including him;) It was awesome and he has always been one of my favorites. He made me want to write a book - but I never quite got it done... I'll do a video and present a few books. I'll do a quick short video just to give a summary on which book and why.
I think Abe Pressman's book is great. To add to that, I'd say Steve Sandler's Power Integrity and collect all the books by Sanjaya Maniktala, like Switching Power Supplies from A-Z. For thermodynamics, the Tony Kordyban Hot Air books are very easy to read, entertaining and filled with great information.
Heh, heh....When **I** was a lad, my first job was at the local radio station....my duties included adding electrolyte to the chemical rectifiers, and regularly cleaning the electrodes of the rotary spark-gap! (well, maybe not....)
well, thats sweet!! it's nice 2 know peoples careers! it's best 2 keep on, keeping on!! once U get down!! Ugh!! U'r electronics vids are very helpful!! may be we can share some magazine links sometime!! the consumer market is rapidly expanding! & with Musk's journeys in A.I. we may all be robots in 20yrs?? I'm just an old flunky, that got his back tore all 2 hell. when he was young, and stupid! I'm a ''maker'' now!! it's super fun..when I can.. just glad 2 see happy people, having honest ideas. that move us along in our lifes!!
Wow - that's full circle - kind of. The engineers who started IOMEGA left IBM with an idea and a patent that they bought form IBM. Or at least that's what I heard. Thanks for the feedback!
Congrats on wedding - tip for making it last is to agree that you are in the canoe as a team till the end . When the rapids arrive in the river of life , bailing is never an option - you have to traverse them together . All the best and thanks for your authenticity 👍
@@KissAnalog I traveled a similar path and built my electronics business over many years . Unfortunately this requires many hours at nights and weekends working and if the spousal unit is not aligned and buys into this the trouble begins - The bizarre aspect is they claim to want attention BUT on their time schedule , and often get marriage advice from other woman who often don't have a rosy flight plan themselves. The only thing that matters is negotiated agreement , keeping fingers on the pulse and most importantly managing and controlling the signal to noise ratio.
Your intellectual generosity and your humility, considering your curriculum, are just unbelievable. Thank for sharing that.
That's very nice of you diegooo 1972! I appreciate you and - thank you!

Hi Eddie, that's an impressive resume you have there! You mentioned recently there are some changes coming. I hope your new employer appreciates your talents and qualities as an engineer and as a human being.
Congratulations on your marriage too, man! I wish you and yours a happy and fulfilling life together....it's love and happiness makes the world rotate. :)
Thanks for posting and be well!
Thanks Ted! I appreciate your nice feedback! Yes, the changes have been for the better - so much better:) Thanks for your wishes and great words!
Congratulations!
Thank you - much appreciated Rob!
Congratulations!
😊 Thanks for your efforts, another great video.
God bless your marriage
Thanks so much John - I really appreciate you!
Congratulations on your marriage!! Sending Love from Canada. I'm young but you give me hope for my outlook on the future because I too have had some ups and downs (like everyone I imagine) and sometimes get stuck on doubt, this video made me feel like things still can work out. Wanted you to know that
Thank you very much! I appreciate you! I believe things do work out if you believe that and keep going - but some times you do need to make a turn;)
What an interesting review of your life. Thank you for sharing. Good luck for the wedding. I'm sure Number Three will be the ONE!
Thanks so much - I appreciate you!
I know my comment is very late (bout 2years or so 😂), but I felt like I needed to say thanks to you. Thank you for sharing your life experiences with us. It's a lifetime journey that really ends up defining us and is actually quite personal. Im not sure I'd be able to go on youtube & tell everyone all about my career choices etc. So I just wanted to say thanks for sharing, It sounds like you've had some pretty interesting jobs & done some rather incredible work. I thoroughly enjoyed hearing about it. Also a big thanks for sharing your knowledge with us all & a for great channel!
Thank you so much! I appreciate you, and am glad that you are here!
Oh yay! Congratulations on your wedding!
Thank you so much 😀
Well before you get too big to personally respond to your commenters I'd like to say that I really appreciate you taking the time to share your knowledge and expertise with all of us. Your background is pretty incredible and as someone else already said your intellectual generosity and humility in consideration of your curriculum is unbelievable; hearing about the first big D after 13 years got me right in the feels and I'm glad you were able to make it through with your amicable nature intact. Hope things continue to go well for you. Only recently found your channel after seeing your Fluke rant about them being overpriced :P This video helped clear up whether you knew what you were talking about. You certainly do. :)
Thanks so much! I appreciate your kind words and happy to have you here;)
Just found your channel, referral from another YTChannel, and wish you the very best on your marriage.
I also worked in the contractor-defense world for L3 and others so I very much look forward to viewing your videos in the coming months. I especially love analog since I started my electronics career at Peavey Electronics and gained a lot of my experience there.
Be well and stay safe.
I'm glad to have you here! Wow, that must have been great at Peavey! Thanks for your support!
@@KissAnalog Yeah, working there was great for my first job in the electronics industry. I got to work at several departments (mixer boards, top box aka guitar amps, speaker plant, and QC on PCB assembly.) so it was a great three years because of the exposure to so many things.
Amazing background. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us! You and Terry Dayton (D-Lab) are former Air Force. Congratulations on number 3! I gave up after number 2.
Thanks Paul - that's really cool to hear! I have watched D-Lab and will have to again;) I appreciate you and - never give up:) Well I did too - and then - surprise;)
Good to know where someone is coming from. I guess you have about as much perspective as someone can have working in the electronics industry.
Thanks so much! I have been around and do really enjoy this channel;)
Thanks again and congratulations with the formation of the new family. I wish you prosperity and positive vibe to your new family.
Thanks a lot - I appreciate you!
Appreciate taking us along your experience and honesty.
Thank you! I appreciate you!
You sir, are an inspiration, when it comes to your channel and power supplies...... don´t go asking about marriage because that´s out of the question.
Hope you live happy with this new marriage.
Love your series about boost converters and the current probes for oscilloscopes.
Thank you Mario! I appreciate you! I'll get back to the DC/DC converters soon. And the measurements. Thanks - I'm still trying to work out the females in my life;)
Congratulations on your wedding I think you've had it now lol
I was thinking of this what about designing a switch mode power supply for Valve equipment something lacking and people don't understand, maybe universal that can be used in Multiple valve types of equipment. I think people missing the opportunity with valve Gear to Changer power supply from the old type Transformers to smps, you seem like the guy that would build a very good switch-mode power supply, maybe sell the blueprint and a kit and do the build on RUclips bring some revenue in.
What is the best frequency to run a switch mode power supply for audio equipment 120 kilohertz or should it be higher?
Some advice how do you find luck in love doesn't come my way
Thanks John! I need all the luck I can get;)
I have actually thought about that, and the lack of PS for Valve equipment. I think many must think that it is crazy to mix old with new - but why not;)
Thanks for the feedback and ideas!!
Congratulations, very excited for you. I hope everything goes smoothly for you tomorrow, and if they don't, just relax and smile. Keep the videos coming, they are progressively getting better👍
Thanks - I appreciate you Danny Daniel! That's great feedback! I thought I'd be OK, but I did have to tell myself to relax;)
Thanks for sharing. All you have an extensive amount of experience with electronics. Wow. What an Amazing story.
Thank you Davi - I really appreciate you! I hope I can make a difference for others;)
@@KissAnalog My pleasure. I hope things will work out for you and the new wife. Life is too short we have to live it well.
I watched a video where you tested some probes , and i thought this guy seems nice and to the point, so i just subscribed without much thinking.. boy am i surprised , my intuition might be better then what i thought
Thank you! I appreciate you!
Just recently discovered you on RUclips. I really appreciate your competences and style. My congratulation for the upcoming event, all the best!
Thank you Max - I'm really happy that you found my channel! I appreciate you!
Hey Eddie, thanks for sharing your journey. Loved every minute of it. Congratulations! I wish you many years of happiness.
Thanks Dan! That's very nice of you! I appreciate you and will take your wishes;)
Enjoy the channel. Looking forward to you doing more repairs. I ordered an Astro AI meter off your recommendation and I have to say for 11 bucks it is a great meter. I did some measurements compared to my Fluke and it was really close on all of them.
Thank you Tron! I think it is a great meter - especially at the price! I do have some repairs to do;)
Thank you for telling us about your experience. Very interesting to see the journey of an analog engineer; watched all the way through. And congrats!
That's great - thank you! I'm glad that it was interesting - I wasn't sure about doing this, but with the wedding and such - I thought maybe it is a good time;)
Thanks for sharing. I've built an audio lab at home also. Started from Playing guitar and restoring tube guitar amps. But you need test equipment to do that and it turns out that restoring vintage test gear is just as fun as fixing audio gear. Go figure. You put a lot of effort into explaining the gear and tests. That's why I love your videos. BTW, 3rd time is a charm. Congrats.
Thank you Rick! I appreciate you! Sounds like you are having fun!
I’m new to your channel and have learned a lot from your videos. Your resume is very impressive, especially with power supplies. I enjoy your channel and best of luck with your new marriage.
Welcome! Thanks for joining us. I have been around and my hobby is electronics, so this channel was a fun thing to start;)
Thank you for this video. Great information. As always excellent..
Thank you so much! Much appreciated!
Congratulations. I caught onto your channel because my kids are getting into electronics and trying to get ideas on setting up a home lab for them. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Thank you! I'm glad you found my channel and welcome;) I appreciate you!
Respect you, ur experience and job
Thank you - I appreciate you!!
@@KissAnalog welcome dear
always nice to see your channel growing..
Thank you - I appreciate your support. You've been with me for awhile;)
Cool background! I also was in my high school electronics classes, and loved it. Someone brought in some Apple 2+ computers (80's tech, lol), and that ruined me for the electronics side, although I now wish I had stayed there!
That’s a great story:) I’m glad you are here now!
@@KissAnalog I'm glad I found you, Great content. Ya, I spent many days after class fixing CB radios (remember those?), TV's, and stereos. Good times!
Keep it up SIR
Thank you! Great to hear from you;)
Congratulations on all of your achievements!! I remember iOmega. I bought a zip drive before I ever owned a computer.
Fly by wire still use hydraulics, but it did take the spools and valves out of the cockpit and replaced them with solenoids and other remote valves closer to the mechanical load areas. Replacing miles of hydraulic lines and accumulators for miles of wire and relays. Please do not think I'm trolling you, sometimes it takes someone of lower intelligence to explain things to the masses. I love your videos please keep them coming.
Thanks for elaborating - sharing helps everyone;) I always appreciate great feedback!
Hi Eddie. Very interesting background. Good to know (as a fellow engineer) I am not the only one interested in design and not simply moving up into management. Good work!
Thanks for the feedback! I like the design work, but maybe management would have payed better:) Actually field sales was a nice paying job that I turned down;)
It is nice to know about your background, but I would like to hear a lot more details! I am sure you could talk for hours about different projects you have done, different clever solutions to problems and such. I would tune in to that for sure at least :)
Thanks for the idea!
Thank you for sharing your journey.
You are so welcome! Thank you for your feedback!
Amazing history it is nice that you shared absolutely amazing and thank you
Thank you so much! I appreciate you!
Belated congratulations. You have a fascinating career. Thank you for the work you do on this channel.
Thank you very much! I appreciate you!
Awesome show, thanks Eddie.
Thank you! I appreciate you;)
Congratulations🎊👏🎉
Thanks 🤗 Appreciate you!
thanks for sharing :) i wish i could have a career like you. Right now I'm at a junction at my life where i have to decide between research field or a engineer at a private company. I really like to go for a career in embedded systems so I'll probably not go for resesrch work.
If it feels right - do it;) Things always work out - you just have to keep believing and moving forward;) Thank you for your nice feedback!!
Congratulation!! Super happy for you! Super interesting to hear about you. A well-made and fluent video, just a joy!! :-)
Thank you Fried Mule! I appreciate you! I’m trying to catch up with comments - nice problem to have;)
Hi Eddie, really interesting. I really enjoy your video. You have a lot of really nice comments, each one of the nice comments it’s a part of you that I know, but I think diegooo1972 said in a few short words some of the things that I just love about you. Congratulations on your marriage.
Thank you - that's very nice of you!
Impressive resume, congrats.
Thank you John! I appreciate you!
Interesting Eddie. The subs are on the up as well. Keep up the good work and good luck with No.3 :-)
Thank you microknight1;) If I keep trying to get better - I hope to keep growing;) I really appreciate your feedback!
Eddie i so admire you for telling us where your passion in electronics has taken you. For me it's next impossible as an electronics guy to openly talk about stuff like this as it's personal i guess and for me i fear what others will think of me, so thanks for making a vid on this topic. Congrats on the marriage too, that's so great you have a special someone else to share your life. Final question... was the beeping the low-battery alarm on your wireless mic setup which was already doing some nasty random audio noise from the start?
Thank youxpeteb2! I understand and I didn't plan to do this but had a few ask, so I thought people deserve to know something about me if they are going to listen;) This channel has been an interesting experience! Glad to have you here and thanks for the feedback! I replaced the cable so I think that was the problem - bummer it happened on this video.
Thank You for SHARING your professional and analytical skills, we are all connected and sharing your knowledge can help many people in the world, God Bless You. Kiss Analog.
I appreciate that! Your feedback means so much to me!
Very Inspirational , Thanks for sharing : Ritchie from Penang Malaysia
Thank you! I appreciate you!
Hey, great video, thank you for sharing
Thanks for watching!
26:08 Congratulations!!!
Thank you so much!
Hmmm, Interesting.
Congratulations!!
Yeah - I know;) Thank you and miss you;)
Hi Eddie, I just stumbled across your channel a few weeks ago and I love the content. I am just an amateur who loves electronics and computer stuff and I follow a number of the electronics channels on youtube. I think you have an amazing resume and built up a lot of experience over the years. It is really great you are sharing that knowledge with us. We can all learn from that which is great. I thank you for sharing this personal story and hope to see more interesting projects in the future. And congrats with your marriage! My best from The Netherlands! (is it only me or was there something wrong with the audio in large parts of this video?)
Thank you Marcel! I really appreciate you! Yes, sorry - I found I had a bad audio cable:(
I love your Channel, i stumbled over it while i was looking for Content relating to class d Amplifiers, cause i have a problem with different output volumes. Abd i wanted to know, how the powersupply works. And i aint a electric engineer, just interested in new things.
Really great and nice Content. Greetings from germany 😉
Thanks so much! Welcome to the team;)
I know this was a while ago, so I am a bit late to the party so to say. I saw your other video about a book the I accidentally found and decided to read which was Power Supply CookBook 2nd edition by Marty Brown I think. I thought it was interesting but I also found out that some of the information in that book was incorrect as well as some reviews sort of bashed it a bit. Anyway this was a second video that I watched and I must say that I find this very interesting. If I understand right, you don't have a formal EE degree but you have been in all sort of positions of that caliber? Nevertheless, very interesting video, thanks for upload. I just love that the fact that you did what you liked, like insisting on just trying to get to Utah and did not really care much about the money.
Thanks for your great feedback. Actually I do have an engineering degree, but I was given a full engineering promotion at Lear Astronics as I was doing the work as an EE before I actually graduated. I was finishing my last year at UCLA but was also working full time. I became a senior engineer just 1 year after graduating;) I started off fast and have been busy ever since;)
The Marty Brown book is an easy read and is mostly correct, so I think it is a good starter book. He is an actual design engineer - where a lot of people writing books are teachers and not real design engineers;)
Thanks for sharing!
You bet!
congratulations :)
Thank you!! I appreciate you!
wow .. fantastic career so far :-) really enjoyed that .. thankyou .. so subscribed :-) cheers
Thank you so much! Happy to have you on the team Graham;)
What book do you recommend for power supply design ? I've heard some good things about "Abraham Pressman -Switching Power Supply Design" . Do you think its good ? Thanks.
I went to a seminar held by Abraham back in the day. I think there were 5 of us including him;) It was awesome and he has always been one of my favorites. He made me want to write a book - but I never quite got it done...
I'll do a video and present a few books. I'll do a quick short video just to give a summary on which book and why.
I think Abe Pressman's book is great. To add to that, I'd say Steve Sandler's Power Integrity and collect all the books by Sanjaya Maniktala, like Switching Power Supplies from A-Z. For thermodynamics, the Tony Kordyban Hot Air books are very easy to read, entertaining and filled with great information.
Heh, heh....When **I** was a lad, my first job was at the local radio station....my duties included adding electrolyte to the chemical rectifiers, and regularly cleaning the electrodes of the rotary spark-gap! (well, maybe not....)
well, thats sweet!! it's nice 2 know peoples careers! it's best 2 keep on, keeping on!! once U get down!! Ugh!!
U'r electronics vids are very helpful!! may be we can share some magazine links sometime!! the consumer market is rapidly expanding! & with Musk's journeys in A.I. we may all be robots in 20yrs??
I'm just an old flunky, that got his back tore all 2 hell. when he was young, and stupid! I'm a ''maker'' now!! it's super fun..when I can..
just glad 2 see happy people, having honest ideas. that move us along in our lifes!!
Thanks for this great feedback as always;) I agree with you!
Iomega is now under Lenovo. They are now doing enterprise software/NAS type stuff.
Wow - that's full circle - kind of. The engineers who started IOMEGA left IBM with an idea and a patent that they bought form IBM. Or at least that's what I heard. Thanks for the feedback!
Congrats on wedding - tip for making it last is to agree that you are in the canoe as a team till the end . When the rapids arrive in the river of life , bailing is never an option - you have to traverse them together . All the best and thanks for your authenticity 👍
Thank you! And I love your tip! Sounds right;)
@@KissAnalog I traveled a similar path and built my electronics business over many years . Unfortunately this requires many hours at nights and weekends working and if the spousal unit is not aligned and buys into this the trouble begins - The bizarre aspect is they claim to want attention BUT on their time schedule , and often get marriage advice from other woman who often don't have a rosy flight plan themselves. The only thing that matters is negotiated agreement , keeping fingers on the pulse and most importantly managing and controlling the signal to noise ratio.
