    Experience:
    PCS Digital Inc (PCS)   Boise, Idaho –– President and Sr. Designer 1983-present
    PCS Digital was derived from Pacific Computer Sales, Inc. (PCS) and is the corporation through which I conduct research and do consulting. PCS Digital Inc. maintains an affiliation with several consultants and vendors to obtain a larger effective corporate size. This enables us to take on larger design projects and provide turn key solutions. PCS Digital Inc. was founded in 1983 as Pacific Computer Sales, Inc. for the specific purpose of designing and manufacturing computer peripheral interfaces and controllers for OEMs. Successful products designed and manufactured by PCS included Direct Data Channel (DDC) and Optical Data Channel (ODC). My responsibilities included, but were not limited to, general corporate management, project management, OEM contract negotiations, hiring of technical personnel, direct supervision of manufacturing subcontractors and providing engineering for product support.
