Horne Systems is for the most part a one-person company.

I am a retired electronics tech, living near Lockhart, Texas, the Bar-B-Que Capital of Texas!

I worked as an electronics technician for several departments at the University of Texas at Austin during my 30 years on campus, including:

 The Department of Computer Sciences, where I managed the electronics and computer maintenance shop, overseeing a network of close to 1000 computers, a PBX phone system of over 300 phones and updating classrooms and lecture halls to computer control of lighting, projection screens, black boards, sound and projection equipment, in addition to the installed A/V equipment.

The Electrical Engineering Department, where I was a hardware designer and head technician on a grant to design and build a large parallel array computer called the Texas Reconfigurable Array Computer (TRAC).

Since retiring from UT I have been self-employed. My work is mostly now installing and maintaining Audio/Video equipment, Video surveillance camera systems, telephone systems and computer networks, including wireless hot spots and providing rural wireless high speed internet access, as well as developing equipment for A/V control.

Austin Habitat for Humanity  takes quite a bit of my spare time, as you can see from some of the photos of some of my builds on the Photos tab.

We are also heavily involved with the startup of Habitat for Humanity in Caldwell County, Texas. Our web page can be found HERE.
