Welcome to the homepage of David W. Prins, known to the amateur radio world as N8UJH.

I am a native of Holland, Michigan and am 37 years old.

I attended Holland Public Schools, graduating from Holland High School in 1993. I then attended Grand Valley State University and graduated in 2000. Originally intending on majoring in broadcast engineering, I switched my major to computer science near the end of my freshman year. I attended full time for the first five years. I then dropped back to part time as the number of classes I needed versus when they were offered did work out for full time status. Looking back, some of the classes I took were probably not necessary but at the time I relied on my anything but helpful advisor.

I have two children. Elizabeth is 10 and Zachary is 8.

This domain has been in existence since 2004 but received a major overhaul in 2008.

My first attempt at a webpage was in 1995 while a student at Grand Valley State University. That first version was entitled Dave's World. My site used that name before CBS aired a sitcome of the same name that starred Night Court alumni Harry Anderson. For those who are curious, my site's title was instead inspired by a Wayne's World hat I had at the time.

After college, Dave's World was moved to the server of a local Internet Service Provider and later to a friend who had a Linux box in his home with a 24/7 Internet connection.

Somewhere around 2002, the files were lost as my friend's server crashed and I moved to an ISP that did not host user webpages. Starting from scratch, the site relaunched during the summer of 2008.
