About Me

After collecting several technical degrees at Cornell and MIT and a stint building spacecraft sensors and new computer architectures at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, I am now a serial entrepreneur. MicroDisplay was the first company I started, spun out of my grad school dissertation on Integrated Optoelectronic Computers while at MIT’s AI lab. My last gig, MobiTV is looking to be a little more of a break-out after we invented the technology, built the infrastructure, and licensed the content to deliver live television over wireless networks to mobile phones, PDAs, and now Computers. Besides that, I am the founding Chairman of the Westminster Institute for Science Education [WISE] and have recently started a new company in the converged media and technology space.  Google me if you want more details….

Interests

  • Other than all the nerd-pride sort of actvivites around Physics, Astronomy, Math, and all things computation, I am very involved in science education, martial arts instruction, ice hockey, and mountain biking.
