About Us
read moreMy professional life began in electronics in the late 1970's. I founded a consulting firm to design integrated circuits (chips) from schematic drawings for such clients as Intel, Motorola, Medtronic, and many others. Wife Sandy joined us in 1987 to manage our expansion into photomask manufacturing, which was her specialty. Photomasks were necessary in the manufacturing of chips. Ten years later, I was looking for an exit strategy - long hours in a very high-tech business, which was fast becoming obsolete, was compelling us to move on.
