Lawrence "Larry" Goga, AE5CZ, has been interested in electronics and sound recording since he was a young boy. His work in professional audio led to a career in the motion-picture industry in Los Angeles. Larry worked as a production sound mixer with various movie and television crews and worked his way up to the position of Chief Engineer for Skywalker Sound South, a George Lucas company.  In 1999, after 25
years in the movie business, Larry moved to New Mexico where he began a new career as a freelance electronics consultant.

Larry was licensed as an Amateur Radio operator in February 2007 and in June of that year he upgraded to the Extra-Class level. In 2008, he became a certified Amateur Radio Instructor and a Volunteer Examiner under the direction of W5YI. He is also certified as an amateur radio instructor by the ARRL.

Larry is now retired and continues to teach electronics to aspiring amateur-radio operators. He also continues to enjoy experimenting with electronic-circuit design, RF test and measurement, modern computer programming techniques, and learning about the latest technological advances in amateur radio.
