None

Relevant experience: Responsible for conducting over 250 sled tests using both hydro-pneumatic, and sleds with steel bands. Determined crash pulses, and evaluated biomechanical data. Tests and evaluations were dealing primarily with infant, and children crash survivability. Sled test were conducted in the United States, as well as in Germany. Facilities used included: Audi, Chrysler, Cape (IMMI), GM, MGA, University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute (UMTRI), Porsche, and VW. Was accepted and acted as an expert witness in the United States Court of Appeals, for the: Second Circuit of New York. Was accepted by the court as a technology expert, the expertise yielded a landmark definition of "fail-safe" systems in automotive applications, and the development of such systems. The fail-safe definition is precedence setting. Wrote and advised widely in the general area of crash survivability and biomechanical safety boundaries. Acted as a consultant on safety issues for the Massachusetts Registrar of Motor Vehicles. Advised financial firms regarding investments in technical companies, and the viability of mostly high tech companies. Managed a number entrepreneurial technology oriented businesses with their own P/(L), and/or budgets Innovative technology oriented problem solver and innovator, Significant record of accomplishment: Bringing concepts to profitable marketable products (such as aircraft ABS brakes technology to automotive ABS, GaAs technology into hi speed CPU, audible back-up warning, etc.) and enhancing performance and profitability of existing products. Marketing of HiTech products (Computers, computer-peripherals, and software, in the US, Europe, Asia and Africa, computer storage media primarily in the USA.) Marketing of safety devices to the automobile industry (ABS, audible back up warning systems, etc.) Senior Technical Management, International Business-management.
