James's Story
Updated 4-28-24
My Story:
My parents moved to USC into their newly constructed home in 1956. My (4) older brothers attended school there. During my time in high school, I attended Parkway West Area Technical School for 2 years, studying Electronics. After graduating from USCHS in 1979, I then attended Penn Technical Institute under an Amateur Radio scholarship for 15 months, studying Electronics Technology. I graduated from Penn Tech Institute in December of 1980.
I work in the Electronics field as an Electronics Engineer and had been with my first company for over 28 years (Broadcast Television Transmitter Market) and my current company (automated welding machines) for over 9 years. During this time, I also went to Point Park University and Duquesne University.
I own a global GPS repair center (SHARCNET-USA). We've repaired thousands of units for customers all over the world.
In my spare time, I create websites for corporations, small businesses and churches.
My father worked in Education. He was a Mathematics Teacher and High School Vice-Principal at Petersburg High School in Petersburg, West Virginia. He was also a Mathematics Teacher and Principal at Peters Township High School in McMurray, Pennsylvania. My mother was a homemaker. Together they raised (5) sons.
I am married and I have a 32 year old daughter. She graduated in the USCHS class of '09! In 1991, She just had a baby on 12/9/2022. His name is James Robert. I purchased my parents home in 1991, so I am "still" living in Upper St. Clair.
My travels have taken me as far as Germany & Russia. During the mid 70's, I became interested into CB Radio. I later received my Extra Class, Amateur Radio License and formed South Hills Amateur Radio Club, Inc. (sharc.org) in 1993. I own and operate (3) Amateur Radio repeaters in the Pi...Expand for more

I organized the "Tri-state Electronics & Computer Show" held at the Meadows Racetrack.
Some of my hobbies include, Electronics, Amateur Radio, music, guitar, travel and website design.
