My passion is driven by the awareness that far too many businesses fail, delaying emerging technologies badly needed to better address the world's problems. My approach is to apply research, networking, and creative thinking to eliminate the barriers to the survival and growth of business teams, as I have learned to do over more than 50 years of learning.

Optical Scientific is a research and development firm and has been developing optical flow sensors (OFS) for industry and Government agencies for over 30 years. OFS makes drift free measurements across the entire measurement path and is also isolated from the process so it won’t create a pressure drop on critical processes. OFS is unique because our patented technology is looking at fluctuations in light and thermal Turbulence. OFS measurement technique is unaffected by and does not have to compensate for changes in temperature, pressure, gas density or gas concentrations. Truly a versatile technology when it comes to monitoring velocity, OFS technology has proven successful in a variety of challenging applications that include high temperatures, high and variable opacity and dust concentrations, including Flare Stacks, Thermal Oxidizers, wet scrubbers, carbon capture, incinerators, primary/secondary air ducts, bag houses or similar processes with entrained / suspended liquid droplets.

Pick Direct Steam Injection Heaters provide efficient ethanol production solutions. The open design of the heater allows slurry flow without obstruction. The Pick Heater does not rely on high liquid & steam velocity for mixing to occur. Steam is fully condensed within the heater body. The result is smooth operation with no straight-run piping requirements and lower liquid pressure drop. In addition to mash cooking, Pick Heaters can be used in the following applications within an ethanol plant: process make-up water for mash tanks, hot water make-up for yeast tanks, Clean-in-Place (CIP) for fermenters and process tanks, plant washdown- hose stations, and any other heating requirements.

Pivot is a nonprofit industry coalition that is expanding the global use of bioethanol for household energy.
