Dean Segovis
Dean got interested in electronics at the age of 13 when he built his first crystal radio. It didn't work, but he was inspired to try harder. Since that time he has worked in many trades and acquired a vast amount of experience in all things creative. Dean started Hackaweek in March 2011 challenging himself to produce a project and a video each week for year, which he did and then just kept going.

A presentation detailing how I got started with Hack A Week and what it takes to make content. I'll discuss what inspired me, how I got started in electronics and hardware hacking, what it takes to produce video, dealing with a public following and how to be creative with new content.
What inspired you to begin investigating your topic or inspired you to make your project?:
I saw a project to build a crystal radio when I was 13 and I got hooked on electronics. I taught myself about electronics by taking things apart and learned a few things from a HAM radio guy I met when I was 15. Hackaweek.com was inspired by a post I saw on Hackaday.com. They were looking for someone to produce a project video each week. I just decided to do that myself on my own website and Hackaweek was born.
