About
Douglas: |

I have a degree in Civil Engineering. I have about 8 years of professional experience in designing roads, railroads, subdivisions, apartment complexes, and industrial parks. This gives me a great understanding to help out in geometry, trigonometry, and algebra.
I have a second degree in Electrical Engineering. I have 25 years of experience in designing, building, and programming electrical circuits and printed circuit boards. This gives the excellent ability to design build and program computers. This also allows me to know how to use the more advanced mathematics such as logic and calculus and how they can be used on computers.
One of my hobbies is building amusement part railroads. I have taken metal lathes and mills and connected is to a PC to form a robotic machine for making parts. In designing custom parts for the mechanical interface from computer to lathe or mill, I use Computer Aided Drafting tools for part design.
I love American history (it is also tied in closely to railroads after 1830) and have visited 42 of the lower 48 states and many historical sites.
I have written two books. "The Gainesville Midland and Her Sister Short Lines" which is a history book about the Gainesville Midland Railroad here in Georgia. "Civil Engineering for Outdoor Railroads Volume 1" has become the standard reference for designing amusement park railroads. As of 3/6/2008, "Civil Engineering for Outdoor Railroads Volume 2 Bridges" is being proof read by some friends and I plan to submit it to the publisher this spring.
A fourth book currently titled "Birth of Magic" is being proof read at this time. I have a deep interest in science fact and science fiction.
I have designed and given seminars at the places I work about basic electronics. I have been on the faculty of the Test Engineering Conference national convention twice and given papers on how to increase test equipment's ability beyond what the manufacturer envisioned.
