Founded Floatograph as a Blimp Elevated Photography system that I invented; which eventually lead to Telescoping Mast and Advanced Tactical Trailer manufacturing for the defense, first responder, and oil industries. Clients include U.S. Army, U.S. Navy, CIA, NSA, U.S. Marines, Anduril, Lockheed Martin, L-3, Raytheon, CACI, NASA, Wexford Group, AAE Systems, General Dynamics. Many universities use our SkyDoc Aerostat in their research. We currently have hundreds of 20 - 50' Surveillance Masts on Humvee's in-country, in Iraq. The U.S. Navy uses our mast & trailer systems as weather stations in Antarctica.Most recently, we have won a contract with the U.S. Army to provide our SkyDoc SkyHawke Aerostat-based surveillance system for Iraq and Afghanistan. The SkyDoc was also used by NASA's Ames Research Center for the Haughton-Mars Project in Alaska.http://www.arctic-mars.org/ http://www.floatograph.com

I directed Field Researchers throughout the Northeast in the collection of commercial real estate information and photography. Hiring, quality control and development of new data and photo collection software and methodologies were also among my duties.During my tenure at CoStar Group, I also developed the Sprinter van that they use in field research. The Mercedes built van includes a 25' pneumatic mast mounted Canon 1Ds camera system (from my Elevated Photography background), GPS tracking and two full computer workstations with internet interoperability via either WiFi or wireless cellular modem.My final project prior to my departure from CoStar; in concert with an outside vendor, we developed a vehicle tracking system that is overlayed on Microsoft Virtual Earth. CoStar's fleet of 150+ Field Research vehicles were visible on the map, satellite image or hybrid of both in real-time.

[the genesis of our mechanical telescoping masts]Mast-Elevated Photography of high-end residential and commercial real estate serving Palm Beach, Fort Lauderdale, Miami, and The Keys.Also specialized in photography and print marketing of senior living facilities (brochures and postcards).

[the genesis of Floatograph]Blimp-Elevated Photography of wineries, high end residential and commercial real estate. Servicing Napa, Sonoma, Mendocino, Marin and San Francisco counties.As seen on: WHY DIDN'T I THINK OF THAT (ABC-TV) and SHOBAI, SHOBAI (Nippon TV) and 1992 Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta.My development of the Remote Controlled Blimp Photography System lead to a host of rip-off copycat companies, and the future success of Floatograph Technologies in the defense industry.
