From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Retired engineer and executive. Area of expertise was research in super computers. My responsibility was bringing projects to completion, integrating the full system of hardware and software, delivery and integration at the customer's site. Customer base was primarily DoD and major government labs. I was particularly skilled at running Red Teams, The Red Teams review proposals through a process of pretending to be the government source selection board. The Red Team then faces the Proposal Team with a score (pass, fail, etc.) coupled with recommended proposals. A good Red Team can make the difference in winning or losing.

My retirement is very busy:

• Maintain several local and national webpages
• Fly gliders and power planes in the summer
• Ice boat in the winter
• Fly the club tow plane to launch other glider pilots.
• Taking piano lessons and playing duets with my wife who plays the Sax
• Attend many plays, musical and orchestral events.

My websites include:

• Experimental Soaring Association
• Ice boating in Minnesota
• 1903 Wright Flyer Reproduction

Further, I have attempted an article on Wikipedia: Microlift
