I started working in machine vision back in 1984 at a long defunct robot and machine vision company named Intelledex. With a brief hiatus to start a company with my father, I have been in it ever since. Intelledex was a great place to work with brilliant people and interesting products–many products today, especially in the area of machine vision were heavily influenced by work done at Intelledex. I still work with and stay in touch with people I met in my time at Intelledex. I have to admit, I never thought I would be able to repeat the joy I felt in my work and friendships during my time at Intelledex.

It is a huge surprise to me that I am finishing my career at a company for which I feel the same way I felt about Intelledex. Today is the eighth anniversary of my start date at Thrive Bioscience. I actually started working on Thrive products several months earlier as a contractor. God willing, I hope to finish my career at Thrive. I love the products and I love the people. Of course it is not perfect, but I am very grateful to be at a place where the people around me really try to do their part and are colegial in the very best sense.
