I began working in 1981 at Thorn EMI specializing in electron tube devices such as cathode ray tubes and photomultiplier tubes. In 1985, I began working at Panasonic as a product specialist for the cathode ray tube department. Within a few years, I moved into sales and became involved in various display devices as well as mass storage devices.
In the late 80's, I moved into sales management with principal responsibilities for CRT display monitor sales in the eastern half of the USA. Primary business was with OEM (original equipment manufacturers) customers in the computer industry. (i.e. Compaq, IBM, Dell, Gateway, etc.)
In recent years my responsibilities have shifted to business development of flat panel display technologies such as Liquid Crystal displays, Plasma displays, etc.
Personal:
I married in 1985. My wife's name is Bonnie. She is a graduate of
Russell Sage college with a teaching degree in special education.
Bonnie is currently teaching special ed. at Park Middle school in
Scotch Plains. We have two children. Kristen, age 10 and
Connor, age 6. Kristen is in 4th grade and Connor is in 1st
grade.
I keep busy with home handy man type projects, fishing, boating, exercising and various family activities. Both children are excellent students and very involved in sports which occupies a great deal of our time.
