He grew up in Springville, NY where he raised homing pigeons, spent time on his grandparents farm, and, with his passion for engineering, Ted had completely mastered the complexities of electrical systems by the time he was in high school, followed by receiving higher education in Kansas City, MO, and ultimately landing a position as a Systems Engineer at L3Harris Technologies (formerly Harris RF Communications) for over 40 years.
