Employed by Booz Allen & Hamilton during the cold war on classified projects, GTE as manager, and researcher, then Arthur D. Little as a consultant to various clients, he participated in the developments from transistors to integrated circuits, the ESS, fiber optics, and cell phones. He was keenly aware of the importance of the people involved in this march of history. People, their attitudes and experiences form the glue bridging the jump from old to new technologies. He found this to be true especially in Egypt and describes the pitfalls, humor, and successes of the American, and Egyptian engineers on a project of fundamental importance to that country.
He received a BS, and MS in Electrical Engineering from Northwestern University, and earned a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from Stevens Institute of Technology in 1970. As adjunct Professor at Northeastern University, he taught fiber optics technology and systems design in the mid ‘70’s.
