At 15, after already creating custom bicycles from discarded parts for a couple of years, I started a bicycle repair activity in my step-father's garage behind the sailboat we raced on weekends.

Since high school was teaching me nothing that would help me survive in life, I quit and joined the US Navy at 17 with my parents approval and a fast pass of the G.E.D. test. The Navy taught me more basics on mechanical, electrical, electronics, hydraulics, air compressor and air conditioning and after a couple posts I taught the same to some of our US Marines at Mirimar Naval Air Field in San Diego.

After the Navy I held a variety of positions, and found that I was happier with my own projects;
I helped to build up the 1990 "Invention Convention"? in Pasadena, CA to draw more people than the LA Auto Show of the same year.

I started a restaurant service business with my good friend then left the business to my friend. I then started a computer and computer network servicing and security business named "Los Angeles Computerhelp"? where I tended to be very good at securing the innards of Microsoft Windows. I ran my business for 19 years and had clients ranging from the highest paid Hollywood producer's wife to the 5th largest cable content provider in the US at the time. At the 2000 L.A. Auto Show, Ford hired me to be the technician on the floor setting up their display computers - and I was able to talk to the engineer behind the Lotus Elise as they were introducing it to the US - nice perk!

While working the computer business in 1995 I chanced upon a fuel burn enhancing device that has it's roots in a 1916 US patent. I looked at it and had the idea that I could do better and I started doing so. This is my current project.
