1989-2011 Touchstone Technologies, Inc., Palo Alto, California.
President and Founder. Established electronics research and development group to concentrate on the engineering and integration of advanced automation technologies for application to business and industry. Implemented a complete spectrum of services to include embedded system design and development, neural networks, genetic algorithms, fuzzy-logic, data mining, and knowledge-based systems. Promising designs to date have included an adaptive microcontroller that has shown the ability to automate nonlinear systems without the need of deriving precise mathematical models of the systems previous behavior.

1989-95 The Touchstone Group, Inc., Palo Alto, California.
President and Founder. Established unique ad-hoc consulting practice offering proven expertise in the area of strategic international market planning for aggressive, advanced technology firms. “Virtual” consulting teams could number up to thirty [or more] seasoned professionals per project, depending on the client’s specific needs. One of the numerous specialties offered was a rigorous, thorough examination of the client’s potential or current market with an in-depth analysis of the existing and/or possible competition in that market. Sophisticated analytical concepts and techniques were then employed to design, test and implement a highly focused, dynamic multidimensional global marketing strategy. The Touchstone Group, Inc. was completely merged with Touchstone Technologies, Inc., in November, 1995.

1991-94 NEC Technologies, Inc., San Jose, California.
Market Research and Technology Consultant. Retained for market feasibility and cost studies of Nippon Electric Company’s [NEC] future generations of notebook type portable computers, most notably those employing thin-film transistor [TFT] active-matrix color liquid crystal flat panel display [LCD] screens and spread-spectrum radio frequency [RF] communications links. A separate design validation study was undertaken on the economic viability of emerging rechargeable Nickel Metal Hydride [NiMH] battery technologies for NEC portable computers as well as many other planned NEC electronic products.

1991-93 Air Vision / Philips Electronics, Inc., Menlo Park, California.
Market Research and Technology Consultant. Organized preliminary engineering design and pro-forma marketing strategy for an interactive commercial aircraft cabin management system prototype. Seatback color liquid crystal flat panel display [LCD] screens [with built in keypads and credit card readers] allowed airline passengers to select numerous on-board services. These included twelve bilingual video channels, thirty stereo audio channels, on screen video and audio program guides, the ordering of cabin food and beverages, duty free shopping, and the ability to make automobile rental and hotel reservations, as well as many other revenue generating possibilities to come later. Boeing Aircraft, Inc., of Seattle, Washington, adopted this system in 1995 for their 747, 757, 767 and 777 generations of passenger aircraft as an enhanced option.

1990-92 Intuitive Systems, Inc., Sunnyvale, California.
Contract Systems Engineer. Developed an extremely easy to learn and operate Graphical User Interface [GUI] for shop floor data entry and retrieval; ported to ASK Systems, Inc.’s comprehensive manufacturing and management software [ASK ManMan] running on an IBM AS-400 platform. In addition to this software assignment, designed a complimentary hand held data entry terminal with bar code reader. About the size of a home television remote control, this terminal would download collected bar codes and allow the user to answer yes/no queries directly to the shop floor system through an infrared link. This system was placed and remains in daily operation at the Lockheed Missile and Space Company, Inc. [LMSC], in Sunnyvale, California.

1990-91 Teledyne Components; Teledyne, Inc., Mountain View, California.

Teledyne Components, Inc. was completely and successfully reorganized in late 1991, and is now known as TelCom Semiconductor, Inc., Mountain View, California.

1989-90 The Page Mill Corporation, Palo Alto, California.
President and Founder. In a joint venture with Flexible Manufacturing Systems, Inc., of Los Gatos, California, designed and promoted a sophisticated autonomous mobile robotic television studio camera and control system for use in medium to large sized broadcast television studios and independent video production houses. After failing to raise second round financing, this system was sold to Bosch-Fernseh Broadcast Electronics, Inc., of Salt Lake City, Utah. Page Mill Corporation then suspended further development, and the company was dissolved in 1989.
