My Story (the abbreviated version):

​

I've been fortunate to have a diverse and successful career in robotics, which has been a passion of mine since I was in high-school in the late 80s, working on Hero Heathkit robots in electronics class. That early experience set me on a trajectory that would lead to an awesome undergraduate experience, and a Ph.D. from the only graduate program in the nation (at the time) focusing on robotics. I've worked at really innovative small and large organizations, and have had great mentors over the years. This all led to me starting my own company in 2009, growing it, attracting and working with amazing employees and customers, and then finding right acquisition partner for a successful exit. 

​

I'm now embarking on Act 2. I don't know what that will be just yet, but I'm grateful to have the ability to explore and figure it out.
