Biography

* Experienced (30 yrs) in many aspects of materials characterization, favoring hands-on use. My passion is surface analysis, surface chemistry and surface physics when I'm not developing my 3D electron theory (i.e. electrons that have real size and a shape, not theoretical point charges.)

* When in sales, you can find me marketing major capital equipment, which is blended with a bit of management capabilities that stems from a 12 year visit inside Tokyo's rich culture and highly competitive business-science world.

* As a serious hobby, you can find me chasing materials production problems and developing novel materials by applying surface chemical and surface physical analysis tools. Invented Laser-XPS the only technique that provides directly measured info on the excited state nature of atoms.

* Love a challenge, be it capturing the next sale, building a new website, developing new markets, or analyzing atomic phenomena.

* Am currently building a new website (reference-spectra.com) and developing a LinkedIn group called Surface Analysis International designed for the free flow of information on all aspects of Surface Analysis. Care to join?
