This site has a wide range of information and resources about the industrial, process, and building automation industry based on my experienced  and ongoing involvement as an automation professional with technology and business experience.  My experience includes design engineering, application engineering, corporate management, co-founder & president of a start-up company, author, and industry consultant.

I successfully launched major new technical products as a marketing manager for a Fortune 500 company and by contrast built an early stage start-up company from seed money to venture capital. Based on my experience I take a common sense approach to technology and business analysis.

Active in the automation industry with articles appearing regularly in Automation.com and InTech magazine ( ISA.org/InTech ) providing insights and industry analysis.
