Microcomm Consulting
(Aviation & Aerospace industry)
1975 — Present (34 years )
Microcomm Consulting is a custom electronic design and development house, specializing in microwave communications circuits and systems. First established in California's Silicon Valley in 1975, the company is best known for having produced the world's first commercial home satellite TV receiver. Microcomm entered an extended hiatus in 1990, when its founder, distinguished engineering professor Dr. H. Paul Shuch, moved East at the behest of his academic career. Thirty years after his company's founding, and upon his (first) retirement from academia, Prof. Shuch again hung out his shingle, partnering with four longtime associates to resurrect one of the most revered names in telecommunications.

Although I started my academic career at Carnegie Tech, the most important lesson I learned there is that a small group of committed individuals can change the world. While a student, I became deeply involved in the US Civil Rights movement, becoming a Freedom Rider and hence not graduating. One can always resume one's education (as I did later), but seldom does one have the opportunity to alter the course of history. When that opportunity presents itself, I learned, one should not allow himself or herself to be deterred.
