Beginning in 1982 began working contract repairs on route games for C. A. Robinson and Betson Pacific out of San Francisco CA. My territory was south bay beyond San Jose down to King City CA, With their sponsorship attended factory service schools at the various factories in Chicago Ill, and Sunnyvale CA, as well as those seminars held locally by factory field service representatives.

Operated all test fixtures except the Capcom units and later Stern Fixtures after White Star. Currently still have several including the Gottlieb System 3 Tester, System 1 and System 80, Steve Charlands System 80 Test Fixture, as well as many aftermarket test tools, and William's WPC 89 Test Fixture.

Worked on projects with Planetary Pinball including the re-release of the flipper opto boards which I assembled individually in my shop. Submitted the test tool to Siegecraft Electronics for the flipper opto board tester utilizing a 9v battery.

Operated parts booths at Cal Extreme and Pin-A-Go-Go. Written articles for Star Tech Journal as well as articles to Pinball News First and Free for Pin-A-Go-Go.

I have a website under development.

Continued to work contract until 1995 when I began my own routes. Performed home repair and shop outs until 2015 when I moved from CA to TN. Moving back to CA in 2021/22 and will resume working in the hobby.
