public company, providing engineering data management
software to the manufacturing and service industry.
He was co-founder and CEO of PML, Inc., which developed
proprietary technology licensed to Schlumberger, Western
Atlas and ARCO for identifying oil and gas around and
between existing wells and which he sold to Baker Hughes
in 1997. He was the founder and president for 15 years
