greetings

I've been inventing, designing and implementing scientific & technical products and devices for 20+ years. In recent years my emphasis has been software and new technology development. I have one design patent, a fundamental natural language patent pending, and one product was awarded industrial design of the year. Since 1992, I've lived in Wailea, Maui, Hawaii. I am a private pilot without airplane, write screenplays, was assistant producer of one feature film.

PS: This website is only about 20 years out of date. Hopefully I can update sometime this millennia! :-o
