I have an bachelors of science in electrical engineering (BSEE) from Henry Cogswell College and later earned a MBA from the University of Portland.
Early in my career I designed communication systems for Sprint, Nortel Networks, and the US defense department. After my MBA I worked at Intel in systems manufacturing finance and then as a Government Banker at U.S. Bank.
I was then appointed as a public finance officer for the State of Oregon’s Economic Development Department. There I underwrite loans and grants, coordinate the issuance of Oregon Bond Bank revenue bonds, and help manage a $650 million credit portfolio.
Over this period of time I started several companies, was awarded a U.S. patent, and been the treasure of several 591(c)(3) nonprofit entities.

Things have been a little hectic lately. After we came back from Las Vegas in January, I got Covid that took me out for a couple weeks. Then I had a family member that needed attention.
Expect CES Part Two video soon.
Charge on!

Speak the truth to power. Because the powerful are trying to make truth with lies.

Driving back from Seattle, stopped at a Starbucks and I watched as a Ford Lightning pulled up, and who appeared? Nikki-Gordon-Bloomfield and Kate Walton-Elliott from @transportevolved. Such a Joy, and so gracious.
