The Author and Electrician
David Sheriff is a completely retired marine electrician living in
Nampa Idaho. He became a boat tradesman in the year 2000 and
worked for over a decade on recreational vessels in every
harbor in Southern California. Mr. Sheriff's previous career
spanned electrical engineering, sales and management working in audio
recording, traffic signal control systems and semiconductor capital
equipment. This atypical background for a boating tradesman gave
him a scientific appreciation for marine technology as well as a
compulsion to write about what he has learned. Mr. Sheriff tried
out ideas on his Islander 28 sailboat docked in San Pedro. Raised
within earshot of Lake Michigan, he reports being hopelessly addicted
to boats and big water.
