My Story by Steve Hall - Part 2

Now in High School I did great work, learned Electronics, Drafting, Wood and Metal Shops.

I also took Auto Mechanics, and Algebra. This helped me later in live with several of my many occupations or jobs I did. I also went in the Air Force and learned Aircraft Maintenance and Hydrolics and Phumatics too.  When I got out I started winding Transformers for a company suppying PG&E pigs as they call them. Those big oil filled containers on almost every power pole even the one that goes to your house. It takes the 25000 volts down to 220/110 volts for home use. Runs you appliences and tv and computer too... I was bored doing that job over and over so went to night school to learn digital the up coming computer field was wide open then. So after grad I joined a cash register company doing Bullocks Stores.

I became a field engineer at the store and other locations as needed. Soon left that job for Atari Games to learn more ablout computer games and design too. After that Computerland was opening new stores so I became the head tech at a group of stores.

A few years later it got slow so went into video editing controllers and traveled the country showing the latest gear and did a few NAB shows too, jointed a friend at Mindset a Charator Generator company and designed a multi input switcher but the company went broke making it, a few people left and started Pinnacles but I joined an old friend doing car commercials, lasted 4 years but the owner died and his wife sold the company. Worked lots of odd jobs for a few years. Went through a divorce and learned about NPL and how to help people through lifes problems...
