While the word “robot” may first bring to mind images of talking androids from science fiction, a robot is an autonomous or guided machine, capable of doing a task on its own. General robotics, organizations, and journals can provide an overview of the fields of robotics. When it’s time to gain more in-depth knowledge, a visit to a robot competition, the site of a university program’s robotics group, or the website of a robotics company can offer a better idea of the capabilities of these amazing machines. The online resources for robot architecture provide a deeper understanding of the hardware and software involved in the building of a robot. Today, robot technology continues to evolve and the technology is used in everything from artists’ studios to surgical theaters.

Working as a young city police officer in the 80s, I saw a need for not only an increase in video surveillance, but an increase in the quality of that surveillance. Too many crimes were going unsolved because of a lack of an eyewitness, and too many criminals walked free because the victim, either homeowner or storeowner, had not protected himself with 24 hour surveillance. I decided to become a private security consultant specializing in video surveillance. I quickly found that there was a need for these services, and decided that if I really wanted to protect and serve, I could do it by helping people prevent crime from happening, rather than being there to solve a crime someone had already committed.

As time passes and surveillance equipment becomes more affordable, it is my mission to show Americans through the products my site offers how easy and affordable it is to protect their properties and families with video surveillance.

Outside of this mission, I enjoy collecting and using firearms while either shooting target practice or hunting. I also love to travel with my family around the United States, with our favorite city being Washington DC. My grandchildren take up much of my free time and I wouldn't have it any other way.
