My Convictions
I think that everyone should call or visit their friends at least once a week!
There is much more return in giving than you can imagine.
Make sure your older friends see you often – they love to share their life with someone.
I was a computer repair man; my customers became more like my friends. I love everyone, but I do have a soft spot for elderly or handicapped people.
I’m looking for someone in Lincoln, Nebraska who would teach me more about electronics – I love to make some electronics parts into a project!
I’d like to create a hobby group that can meet in my house or yours, if you like.
I make lots of projects, so if you like to see them, just click on:

ME, IN A NUTSHELL
My History
After escaping communism/socialism from (Czechoslovakia that no longer exists) I landed here in lovely Lincoln, Nebraska, USA!!! That was back in the middle of 1981, the rest is the best part of my life!
Lincoln is the best place to live and grow a family! I’ve seen many great places, traveling with my family across the USA! One can drive an entire day and see the beautiful scenery changing or getting better and better. We have fantastic places to visit or spend a week or two exploring and having a great time!
I love living here in the USA! Dreaming as a boy and young man, I wanted to have my own business and freedom, and I had 2 businesses at one point…. I started with nothing, but my skills and other talents were enough to fulfill my dreams.
In the USA anyone can make it with honest and hard work. I must say that I’m blessed beyond my dreams and enjoying lots of great experiences! Retirement now provides even more time for my family, friendship, hobbies, and enjoyment of everything around me. Having my wife is the best thing that can happen to me! We met in 1982 and we are together ever since.
Fun
Few years ago, I started to play with an Arduino and electronics again. Now it is one of my hobbies – thank you Hari! But I have many more hobbies, including 3D printers, laser cutter, lathe, small CNC… and my passion for photography. Metal working tools and machines, and welding machines, grinders and woodworking equipment…too many to count.
As you can see, I have all the tools I’ll even need, so I also help out friends and family or fix stuff around the house.
The most important thing is to help others! Giving is not just lots of fun but it comes back to you as blessing you and everyone around you! I love to see the pleasant smile…. when something didn’t work, but now it’s back to serve your friends. Because of this, I’m surrounded with friends I trust and love! Couple of my friends help me if I call them with a project or just take care of our cats, when we are seeing our grandchildren…. Many people can’t trust others, despite wanting to do so. But when you develop a great relationship with people, help them and encourage them when they need to, soon everything changes in their lives!
That is what drives me every day.
Favorite Places
I have been fortunate to see and live in other places, like Austria and my birthplace Czech Republic, but my new country USA is by far the best place on the earth.
Europe and Canada are also very nice! If you go to Europe make sure to rent a car, or buy a train ticket that lets you visit many great cities! Prague is also fantastic, Nurnberg, Berlin, Vienna, Budapest (It is actually 2 cities divided by the Danube River. So, one side is Buda, and the other side is Pest.) and many more cities will keep you entertained including Amsterdam!
I belong to a few clubs, one is a maker’s club, here in Lincoln, called MakeShift. If you like, go to: makeshiftlincoln.org and read a little about us. We are also on the Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/makeshiftlincoln – Here you can see pictures from our meetings on every Monday!

I wish you a fantastic day!!!
