I have been a creative guy most of my life. I think it has a lot to do with my Dad who was born in 1914 and lived as a poor Polish immigrant's son, and had to drop out of school in the 6th grade to help support his family during the last big depression.My Dad saw utility in everything, and thought himself to be a machinist, electrician,wood worker, TV repairman, plumber, and auto mechanic. I was his helper, and picked up lots of cool out of the box ways of fixing things and solving problems.My career started right after high school in the army where I trained as a field carrier and radio technician, and got my basis in electronics.When I got out of the Army, I got my first job as a TV repair technician. In six months I started "Color TV and Stereo Clinic", where I serviced TVs during the transition from tubes to transistors. After ten years of that stressful business, where I saw things moving towards throwaway TV,s and the end of my livelihood. I took a job as a field service engineer for the Metritape level gauging company. After 6 years of international traveling for up to 80% of my year, I moved into the engineering department, and got deeply into designing and building a computerized level gauging system.I became their research and development engineer.I developed many machines and fixtures as well as developing an improved version of their level gauge sensor. In 1988, I left the company after 10 years but continued with them as my largest consulting customer even to this day.A special thanks to Al Ehrenfried the president of Metritape, who is a dear friend today who encouraged me to grow into the many new fields that I was delving into. We all should have a boss like that in our life.This is the point where I became a Technical consultant and Genesis One came into being.
