My formal training is as an Electrical Engineer, and I have worked in that field since 1992. My areas of expertise are analog circuit design - with a focus in phase lock loops and adaptive equalizers, primarily for Ethernet applications - and digital ASIC design for internet routers. I have always enjoyed innovation, and accumulated 18 patents over the years I have worked in the industry. More recently, I have been applying that same level of innovation to developing a strategy for successful investing.
