George Blake

George Raymond Blake enjoys reading novels and serialized stories such as Analog, Omni, and others. Mr. Blake took an interest in science and engineering when he was nine years old, examining old machines and manmade technology to see what made them work, often repairing the machines and, ultimately, re-configuring and re-designing them.

Growing up in Southern California’s San Fernando Valley, he was afforded the opportunity to be mentored by engineers, scientists, and technicians from top aerospace companies at the peak of the Cold War. Mr. Blake holds a U.S. Patent and authored and presented papers at lectures for technical trade conferences. He also served as an instructor to military and civilian personnel.

With an associate’s degree in electronics and communications technology—while currently attending Arizona State University to earn a bachelor’s degree in electronics engineering— George Raymond Blake possesses a General-class license in Amateur radio (W6BDD).
