I have wide spread interests – but my passion is “making new and innovative products”. This includes hobbies like photography to designing my homes, to work where I specialize in business and product creation process. But professionally I specialize in managing innovation and transition of technology from the lab to the market place. I identify the salient benefits of the technology and the missing pieces needed to move from technology to product. This is a complex process and companies large and small often misfire in the transition.I can directly lead the engineering effort or work with a team to provide guidance, product plan development, development organization requirements and mentoringSpecialties: Solid State Lighting Component planningLED lighting fixture and subsystem design and business plansRenewable energy - demand management, biomass con generation, solar PV and thermal hybrid systemsComputers and Communications Products and component technologiesDSP components, software, and compete products
