Governor Haslam appointed me to represent the citizens or Tennessee on this board.

I served as an expert witness for 6 Fortune 100 companies defending against a billion dollar patent infringement action.

I recruited and lead the development team for this startup targeting the police mobile video market, my team developed an embedded Linux mobile digital video recording system for the the police car and networked it with multiple video cameras, real time GPS positioning, full sensor input (nuclear, biological, chemical) turning each police car into an intelligent, roaming sensor network with all live video and telemetry transmitted in real time to police headquarters.

Peerlinx was the beta customer for the Motorola Canopy radio and created a CLEC (Competitive Local Exchange Carrier) based on wireless last mile.I conceived a company to use unlicensed public spectrum wireless frequencies as the last mile link. PeerLinx was the first integrated telecommunications provider offering telephone (VoIP) and Internet using unlicensed wireless networks. We created the intellectual property necessary to co-mingle voice and data simultaneously on an unmanaged, unlicensed wireless link.

IPAXS licensed my old patent from Home Shopping Network to create a very large scale carrier class VoIP (Voice over IP) telephone switch

I ran the subsidiary that did all the extreme technology work for Home Shopping Network. I managed 180 employees and a 12 million dollar budget. The systems I designed created the world’s largest call center and automated voice response system handling over 65 million calls annually. The first year my system went online, sales increased by over 400 million dollars. I received several US and international patents for this system.
