Rochester Optical Manufacturing Company has a long history of lens and frame manufacturing dating back to 1932. I acquired the company in 1990 and quickly grew and diversified the business, adding a full service optical lab in 1995, expanding to safety and Government contract manufacturing, and opening my first local retail stores in 2001. In 2008, I began investing in Research and Development, pursuing optical and fashion related technologies. In 2013, we launched into wearable technologies with proprietary prescription lenses, safety solutions and fashion accessories for smart glasses. As the president and CEO of Rochester Optical, I strive to maintain the company's traditional values, further our capabilities and expertise, and constantly innovate with the newest ideas and technologies.TESLA OWNERS CLUB NEW YORK STATEAs a Tesla Model S owner, I experience first hand the revolution of electric vehicle which I know will also impact the future of driving for years to come. The passion for green energy and improving carbon dioxide emission has led me to starting Tesla Owners Club New York State (TOCNYS) with a few other founding members. Our goal is to be the voices that eventually help New York state become the forefront of this EV revolution, and many more would have the freedom to enjoy this unprecedented technology in the most efficient fashion.
