Every good volunteer organization needs good volunteers. I’m on the board to put my shoulder behind ATSC 3.0 (& successors).
People are always interested in learning more about people personally – so…
- What’s your favorite musician or band, and what was the first concert you attended? November 30, 1981, Pontiac Silverdome: The Stones’ first appearance at the suburban stadium was notable not just for the band’s performance but for the reception to one of its opening acts — Iggy Pop. Despite being a homeboy, the Stooges frontman did battle with the crowd, which hurled objects and spat at him. But Pop gave as good as he got during the brief sets. Santana, meanwhile, fared better — received such glowing reviews in comparison to the Stones, in fact, that when his group came to Pine Knob the following summer Carlos Santana felt moved to counter from the stage claims that his band had outplayed the headliner.
- Tell us about your family, your pets, your hobbies. Three kids (including the furry one).
- And what do you do when not working? Hobbies include long-distance bicycle touring (see ‘RAGBRAI’)
If you were stranded on a desert island – what three things would you want to have with you? Sat phone & solar charger, scuba gear, tinderbox
Managing Director, Pearl TV
People are always interested in learning more about people personally – so…
- What’s your favorite musician or band, and what was the first concert you attended? The first concert I went to was Jackson Brown, Earth Day concert on the Washington Mall. We skipped class to go. It was the first time I ever skipped a high school class, and it was so worth it.
- Tell us about your family, your pets, your hobbies. I have two amazing girls, a 21-year-old at Tulane University and a 25-year-old in law school at Boston College. To keep up with them, yes, I have Snapchat, Tik Tok, but haven’t adopted Be Real yet. We have a French Bulldog named Winston who mostly lives in Boston.
- And what do you do when not working? Spend time with my friends, family, and travel to fun places.
If you were stranded on a desert island – what three things would you want to have with you? A power boat to get off the island (SAT Phone and GPS included), loads of bug spray – I hate mosquitos, and a great bottle of Pinot Noir.
Principal Research Scientist at the Communications Research Centre Canada (A Canadian Federal Government Research Centre on wireless technology research)
I am the representative of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) to the ATSC Board. IEEE was one of the founding members of the ATSC. I am interested in researching and advancing digital TV transmission technology and converging broadcasting with broadband, making DTV part of the connected world. I am currently chairing the Tower Network Implementation Team (IT-5) to develop the Inter-Tower Communications Network, which will be part of the future Broadcast Core Network.
- Tell us about your family, your pets, your hobbies. I have one daughter, Cindy, who is a Computer Science graduate, working for an Internet company. My wife is a semiconductor chip design engineer.
- And what do you do when not working? Well in the last 3 years, we are all hiding and working from home. Ski hills were closed. Swimming pools were closed. Travel was impossible. What can we do? I have one mandatory job – to clear snow from our home driveway.
