- Lead investigator - 27 years of design, computer graphics applications development, mechanical, aeronautical engineering and management experience in his own companies and Fortune 50 companies with Aeronautical and Mechanical Masters and Bachelors of Engineering degrees from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute of Troy, N.Y. Drove efforts at major aerospace company for development of a new computer-aided design system with it's new design methodologies allowed rapid conceptual 3D design and analysis facilitating more concepts to be considered early in a projects design cycle leading to a more optimal designs. At one of the worlds largest consumer products company, developed an advertising design system allowing rapid ad development and iterative testing aiding in development of better ads. Holds patent in computer applications interfaces. Founded two companies that pioneered real-time animation systems known for many industry firsts, for applications ranging from entertainment, video games and web content authoring to live event marketing. Developed in 1980, with a college team, one of the first hybrid electric (AC powertrain) car designs as a senior mechanical/aeronautical project where G.E. and GM both offered to donate the major components for its construction. Working with SDSU (San Diego State University) team, based on SDSU successful hybrid electric sports car prototype, Enigma, co-developed one of the first hybrid super car designs for the formation of a new San Diego based car maker, that he would of course like to own for his own needs. Developed in-depth sports and luxury car experience ranging from the customer perspective to the technician perspective in terms of reliable modifications, maintainability, serviceability while owning a leading San Diego high end sports car maintenance and modifications facility which regularly serviced and modified Porsches, BMW, Ferrari and Audi, Mercedes-Benz cars. Developed the core data for these reports in a multiyear search for electric vehicles for his own needs which after review by like minded colleagues became the seed for these buyers guides for serious electric car shoppers.
