Shilo Gagnon
Software Engineer / Aviation Electrician
I grew up in Central Florida, after high school I enlisted into the military. I spent 14 years moving from IL, Great Lakes to Lemoore, CA. From there I moved to Jacksonville FL before finally ending up in San Diego, CA where I eventually retired in 2020. I spent my time in the military as a Aviation Electrician, while retiring as a First Class. I worked on H60B and H60R helicopters.
During this time I also repaired components that are also used in the aircrafts which required circuit troubleshooting and repairs.
Due to my love for Blacksmithing and Homesteading lifestyle I earned the nickname "The Amish Electrician" from some of my co-workers. Now I am not Amish by any means. I enjoy many aspects of Electronics life.
I an avid crafting survival gamer. But I play and stream a wide variety of games on twitch. While enjoying the homesteading life, where I generally start my morning with taking care of goats and chickens.
Achieved my degree in Video Game programming in fall of 2024 from the Academy of Art University.
