Entrepreneurial Activities

1981-1982 Consulting Engineer

Consultant to Unirad (medical instrumentation) and Cybermedics (medical instrumentation). I did the software architecture and consulted on the hardware design and contributed the mathematics processor hardware and software for the Cybermedics Medistor II. This was the first new product for Cybermedics, and has been an outstanding success. Cybermedics in 1983 was no. 79 on the INC. Magazine list of 100 fastest growing companies in America. Reference- Lockette Wood, President, Cybermedics.

1982 CAD Adventure

In 1982, I was approached by John Melanson of NBI, first for hiring by NBI, and then as a founder in a low-cost computer-aided-design venture. I developed initial technical plan and began marketing plan when Melanson decided to abandon effort and stick with NBI. The company would have become our version of Cadnetics, which is a spin-off from NBI doing essentially what we planned to do.

1983-1985 PC Software Business

In April of 1983 I established my own company, MicroMedia, to produce software for the IBM PC. The first product was "The Exterminator", a preprocessor program to make Basic language programming easier. Successfully marketed it until 1985. Learned details of owning a business.

Correctly assessed that Compression Labs would deliver their Rembrandt video compressor 2 years later than they claimed. Correctly predicted success of Cadnetics in CAD business. Recommended a venture capital firm not invest in a video switch startup, thereby saving them from a $5 M mistake.

Other Notable Activities
