Captain in USAF from 1985 to 1992 and worked Reagan's SDI program (Star Wars). Honorably discharged. Received numerous awards.

Worked for Schafer Corporation as a defense contractor from 1992 to 1999. Worked numerous space-related programs and projects including a project that rode on the Space Shuttle.

In 1996, started InfoConcepts and developed, marketed, sold and supported a information system tool to evaluate Civil War information down to individuals within regiments.

From there, developed QBridge!, a simple bridge product between estimating systems and QuickBooks for the auto collision industry. We sold several hundred copies of QBridge! QBridge! is still being used today by several shops.

Sold QBridge! to Ensera in 1999 and continued with its development. It was later called Ion Control. Ensera never formally released Ion Control. Later, Ensera sold to Mitchell where my product was, unfortunately, shelved.

I left Mitchell, formed a company called Collision Industry Management Solutions (CIMS) in 2002. We built ARMS (now called ABSe). Built up a large client base using ARMS/CIMS.  

We sold ARMS/CIMS to Mitchell in 2005 where it eventually became ABSe. There are still around 600 customers using ABSe. Under a consulting agreement, I'm currently supporting ABSe and its follow-on system called Repair Center.

Because I'm an entrepreneur at heart, I always have several ventures brewing.  

Served as the CTO and a partner of attachedapps (LiquidPractice) where we supply cloud-based customer relationship management software for small- to medium-sized businesses throughout the world.  

With several partners, we created a company called MediaBiz365 and stood up a web site to auction remnant advertising space on electronic digital media devices (e.g., billboards) throughout the country (and the world). Along with this web site, we developed a management system to assist with managing these digital media devices.

Working on new management solutions for small- to medium-sized service/repair auto and heavy truck industries.
