About Me

Snaz: AKA Jerry Schnese. Squidoo lensmaster, Photographer, Electronics Technician, Gear-head, VJ/DJ, Computer Nerd, Web Entrepreneur, Hybrid Human...

I write squidoo lenses about things that I'm passionate about. Things that I have genuine interest in, as well as experience with. (I hope you can feel this when you read my work) 

I'm a self taught, Amateur Photographer practicing Fine Art Photography in the Fox Cities area of Wisconsin.

My photography has been published in Fox Cities Magazine and is selling well on the web (thank you). If you too like my work, you can purchase framed prints from my eGallery and boutique @ CafePress.

In the 1990's I was employed as an electronics technician for EAC/Plexus in Neenah Wisconsin. I worked on switching power supplies and battery back-up power units for IBM. Then, headed the Siemens/Potter Brumfield solid state relay test & repair department, later I programmed automated surface mount electronic component placement equipment. I loved the constantly changing challenges of troubleshooting and repairing electronic circuit boards. I had to leave this position when my vision deteriorated due to detached retinas/diabetic retinopathy.

In the 80's I had a blast playing new wave/punk music as a nightclub VJ (Skyline) and college radio DJ (WLFM) - I have many fond memories from those days. (or should I say daze! It's a miracle I can remember any of it - wink, wink)

I was introduced to SQUIDOO via the forums at CafePress and have joined the social network scene to promote my web content and online shops.
