Theses years of education and experience in engineering, science, marketing, and business management allow him to develop patented technology, market innovative products, and succeed at business in a competitive market to provide customers with products that are reliable, cost-effective, and commercially viable. After watching manufacturing jobs move overseas, Robert analyzed the market for products at the heart of the industry and the U.S. job market. He assessed electric refrigerated trailers and recognized an opportunity to revitalize a product that has been central to the U.S. economy since the dwindling years of the icebox. The result was an all-new product that is revolutionizing semi-trailing reefers. Robert was the president and Chief Operating Officer of Sputtered Films Inc., a company which invented the sputtering gun which allowed metal interconnects to be microscopically placed on silicon wafers to form circuitry in modern electronics. Before that, Robert was the President of Wafer Standard where inventions were used in developing silicon sensors looking for everything from neutrinos to gaseous impurities.
