Work Experience:
My name is Dale Baker. I am a 21-year retired Air Force veteran. While in the Air Force, I worked as a crew chief on C-130 aircraft for 11 years and also worked in Satellite Communications for 10 years. I have a vast mechanical background and an A.A.S. degree in Electronics Technology. Over the years I have gained experience in using electronic diagnostic equipment. Some of that equipment are multimeters, oscilloscopes, and test lights. My duration in the Air Force has taught me attention to detail and problem-solving skills which aided my knowledge when building and repairing equipment. Once I have completed my apprenticeship, I plan to learn as much as I can about the electrical trade to not only make more money, but to eventually become a subject matter expert in the field.
