Startup focused on development of contextual analytics as a meta-analytic (analytics about analytics) tool for determining trustworthiness of advanced forensic, predictive and prescriptive analytic tools and analysis. Based on proprietary algorithms, contextual analytics provides a methodology to determine the trust index of advanced analytic processes used by industry and government. The underlying analytic context of Data-Information-Knowledge-Understanding (DIKU) processes and optimization of orthogonal behavior of advanced analytic functions provide clear insight into how well the analytics correlate to the findings of the analysis and calculates both a trust index of the findings, as well as identification of errors in analytic algorithms to improve algorithmic structures to optimize the trust index.

Joined Wavetek as an engineer while attending UCSD, primarily responsible for development of waveform and function generators. In 1983 developed the first Arbitrator Waveform Generator (ARB) product line and in 1984 developed the first ASIC based ARB for advanced, orthogonal control of time and frequency domain elements of waveforms. Developed the modern Arbitrator Waveform Generator architecture that is still in use today.

Joined the Voyager spacecraft science team at Jet Propulsion Laboratory as a Cognitive Engineer responsible for the supporting test and integration of the Plasma Wave Subsystem (PWS) science instrument. Within six months also assumed responsibility for the Ultraviolet Spectrometer (UVS) instrumentation and performed integration of both science instruments on the Voyager spacecraft. Responsibilities included pre-launch and post-launch test and integration of science instrumentation. Also, tasked with Flight Data System (FDS) and launch vehicle integration and test. Worked closely with principle investigators at Kitt Peak National Observatory, Caltech, JPL, and TRW Space Systems.

Precision Measuring Equipment Laboratory (PMEL) Joined the Air Force and attended PMEL school for a year at Lowry Air Force Base in Denver Colorado. Upon graduation, assigned to Davis-Monthan Air Force Base in Tucson Arizona. While serving in the Air force, honored with numerous commendations and awards for outstanding leadership and job performance. Maintained avionics systems for the U2 and SR-71 aircraft and managed all K-8 base level measurement standards. During the last two years of service, managed the PMEL nightshift staff and facility while attending the University of Arizona as a full time student during the day.

The Wireless Innovation Forum is the leading technology incubator for wireless communications. Joined the SDR Forum (now the Wireless Innovation Forum) in 2008 and served as the first chairperson of the SATCOM-SIG formed in March 2009. The SATCOM-SIG included thirty member organizations from all ITU regions. At the SDR’09 Conference in December 2009, organized and hosted a full day series of workshops and tutorials on satellite communications that included presentations by government, industry, and acidimetric institutions. Established Forum projects to investigate concurrent Terrestrial and Satellite hybrid communication platforms, as well as use cases for Satellite communications in Public Safety Networks. Now serving as the Chief Technical Officer and member of the executive committee of the Wireless Innovation Forum. Elected to the Board of Directors in December 2010 and served as Secretary of the Forum in 2012. Participation in other Forum activities include: − Cognitive Radio Working Group − Public Safety SIG − Spectrum Innovation Committee − Regulatory Committee

Provide leadership required to restructure all engineering departments and budgets, including Hardware, Software, Applications, Sustaining and Engineering Support management and technical staff. Completed an SDR base station development as well as applications software and system development required for product launch. Began and completed a companion Manpack SDR in less than a year, on time and under budget. Supported business development activities for Foreign Military Sales (FMS) of existing tactical products and development of products and services for US Department of Defense (DoD) markets. Diversified engineering activities at Datron by successfully acquiring outside funded DoD programs. Lead development teams for both IRAD and externally funded R&D Programs. Also supported Business Development activities in North & South America, Europe, Africa, Asia and the Middle East.

* Founded Silicon Arts to provide engineering design services for standard cells and custom ASIC components. Over this period developed 37 custom gate arrays and standard cells for a wide range of customers, and trained dozens of engineers in advanced component architectures. Primarily focused on component development for communications architectures and multicore processors, but also included development of advanced graphic engines and data controllers. Silicon Arts provided both design services and management of customer engineering activities, often managing design teams of 20 or more engineers on multiple projects. * Silicon Arts Customers included (among others): * − Cubic Defense Systems * − Ball Aerospace * − Sarnoff Research Laboratory * − NextWave Communications * − Hecht-Nieisen Microcomputer Corporation (HNC Software) * − Nagra France (Kudelski Group * − L-3 Communications * − NSA * − DARPA * − LSI Logic * − ST Microsystems * − Fujitsu Infotainment Group * − VLSI Technology * − TV-Com International * − Comstream

* Guided a talented team of entrepreneurs and scientists in research and development of a proprietary software and hardware architecture, protocol stack, APIs and applications to support integration of disparate networks and sensors into a powerful knowledge based platform to empowering individuals to measure, analyze, control and improve key aspects their lives. * Artisan is focused on development of products for all of us who strive to live remarkable, meaningful lives. Development of the "Artisan Platform" for leveraging Big Data tools, predictive analytics, and contextual analysis to enabling personal lifestyle management based on understanding the relationships of our environments. Key area of focus is in development of personal and environment profiles for improvement of "Smart": * Health & Wellness * Fitness * Energy * Security * Lifestyle Management
