About Scott Davis |
|
Born in 1962, I have lived in Glenwood, a development just south of Bel Air, MD, for all but 10 years of my life. I was thrilled to move back into the neighborhood in 1998 with my wife Kimberly and two sons, Christopher and Bradley. My mom still lives directly across the street in the home I was raised! I love all the beautiful gardens and wildlife that we have to enjoy here in Glenwood. I graduated from Bel Air High School in 1980 and from Towson State University with a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration in 1985. After three years as a cost estimator for Martin Marietta, I began a career as a Management Analyst with Baltimore County Government, responsible for budget and personnel administration. I'm still at my "real" job, but Kimberly and I also run a software business, N3FJP's Amateur Radio Software, from our home. In addition to my family and job(s), I have lots of interests that include: - My Christian faith, and particularly an interest in apologetics, which presents rational evidence and basis for the Christian belief. - Amateur Radio (I obtained my first call, WB3CZF, in 1976 at the age of 14). - Writing software (I started out writing Amateur Radio programs for contesting and general logging in Visual Basic for my station in 1997 and it took on a life of its own!).
- Brainstorming, designing and building solar projects including hot air, hot water and electricity that are easy and inexpensive to build (even for a guy with no carpentry experience like me), help the environment and save money. I have an e-mail group, SimplySolar, to help others with solar projects (and share the interest and fun) that you are welcome to join. Please click the link above for more information.
My
family and I built this 24' X 8' collector using PEX pipe in
our back yard in the summer of 2009.
- Astronomy, and astrophotography in particular (Just started in 2007 and currently using a Celestron C11 on a German Equatorial mount). We also have an e-mail group to share the fun of astronomy, astrophotography and the pictures we are taking. This group was created with folks in the MidAtlantic region in mind, but all are welcome! Please click the link above for more information.
- Weather (I created the WXSpots severe weather observation reporting system in 2007 and continue to support and maintain the clients and server).
- Music! I was in a rock band at the end of high school and college. I was also in a Celtic band later. Members of our group have also gotten together since then to write and record some original tunes. Click here for more background and to listen to some of the songs we wrote. I'm a fitness enthusiast (or at least I'm trying to be):
And I'm also an avid Baltimore Raven's fan. Thanks for taking the time to learn a little more about me. You can contact me at: snkdavis@aol.com
73 (best regards), Scott - N3FJP
