Don started Acme Express in 1980, writing scheduling software for one of the first IBM PCs (16KB of RAM and dual 160KB floppy drives!).
He is a native Clevelander (St. Ann's and Cathedral Latin) who returned home after four years in Pittsburgh and fifteen years in Southern California. He has been a researcher at UC San Diego (working in elementary particle physics under Professor Oreste Piccioni), and also at General Atomic Division of General Dynamics, Salk Institute of Biological Studies, Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory, and Brookhaven National Laboratory.
Don's most formative work experience was on the production line in his father's machine shop, tapping holes in parts number 8754861 and 8754862, the right and left hand front wheel support assembly for the Ford MUTT Jeep. |
