...about Allen Goodcase
Allen Goodcase is the creator and founder of Future Systems. In one way or another, Goodcase has been involved in electronics since he entered middle school. Every year he created a first place electronics entry in the schools' science fair. He had been building radios since age 10.
From a very young age, Goodcase was a problem solver and an inventor. He always wanted to know how things worked and in the process of finding out, he would think up and implement improvements. His motto has always been to "let electronics work for you." It is his lifelong passion to improve the sound quality of audio equipment until it approached the sound of the original.
Goodcase earned an electronic scholarship and was an honors student in college where he was inducted into Phi Theta Kappa honors society. He studied business, computer sciences, as well as electronics, and earned several "Outstanding Academic Achievement Awards". Continuing education and training is an ongoing agenda.
He served as an electronics technician at Sharp Electronics for 6 years, and then at National Semiconductor Corporation for 17 years as a Senior Electronics Field Engineer and Branch Supervisor. During that time he earned several regional and national corporate awards.
Goodcase founded Future Systems in 1995 and received an electricians' license in that same year. Originally, Future Systems was to be a home automation design and installation company. It led to much more.
Today Goodcase is involved with many aspects of home and commercial electronic systems. He sits on an industry advisory board for an EST (Electronic Systems Technician) training program. Goodcase is also instrumental in security consulting for several municipalities.
