About Me

My name is Eric Thompson and I live in San Jose, California with my wife and 2 kids.  A lot of my interest in pinball comes from sharing a hobby with my kids.  I really want to use it as a way to teach them about technology and craftsmanship - well, and it's just really fun too!

My regular job is machine design for automated microscopes – hardware, software, applications, whatever…  Currently, I’m a designer for LCD glass inspection microscopes, so as you see LCD TV prices coming down feel free to thank me personally J
