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.

Since retiring from UT I have been self-employed. My work is mostly now installing and maintaining Audio/Video equipment, 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. A new area we have entered is that of Bounce Advertising, an area that is really exploding.

We finished building the apartment on top of our shop recently and have it listed for short-term rental. It came out really nice. You can check it out at http://www.silentvalleytx.com

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. We don't have a web page up yet, but it will be listed on our HOME page, under favorite links.
