        WORK OBJECTIVE

    I enjoy difficult mathematical decision support problems and
have found that my greatest strength is my ability to find practical
ways to add value to many different types of business operations.
Along the way, I have acquired in-depth knowledge of several
industries and have met some very interesting people. I hope
to take on new challenges and to continue to broaden my experience.

        CAREER SUMMARY (1982-2008)

    For twenty-six years I have envisioned, designed, developed,
and delivered decision support systems that add economic value,
several hundred million (U.S.) in yield management and airline fleet
assignment that can be demonstrated and quite a bit more than that
helping other people become more productive.  I have worked within
teams and alone in a wide variety of industries and work settings.
My projects include big optimizations, large simulations, complex
analyses, intricate simulations, and small tools that save time.
My common theme is working within existing information infrastructure
using traditional methods in non-traditional ways to produce enduring
and beneficial solutions.

        WORK EXPERIENCE (FULL TIME)

2008 March through the present, Property Informatics.
    Creating analytic decision support for commercial real estate.
    Designed and built time-series forecasting of commercial
    real estate indices from economic predictor values over time.
    Used retail Huff model to build site-selection tool for
    business location decisions with emphasis on medical offices.
    Giving presentations to brokerage firms, investors, and
    portfolio managers encouraging them to use analytic methods
    in their real-estate decision process.
    
2003 October through 2008 March, SAP/KhiMetrics.
    Wrote three of the five keystone retail science programs
    that have been working for clients in production for years.
    These were the result of collaberation with project managers
    for business needs and other scientists for algorithm ideas.
    They are the Sales Aggregation Module (SAM) for data cleansing,
    Markdown Optimization Engine (MOE) for end-of-life products,
    and Promotion Optimization Engine (POE) for products on sale.
    A client credits MOE with tens of millions of dollars benefit.
    Supported analytic work on confidence intervals for forecasts.
    Taking an active role in "selling" Khimetrics science to SAP.
    Current assignment is retail-stock replenishment optimization.

2000 September through 2003 September, InterContinental Hotels Group,
    formerly Six Continents Hotels and Bass Hotels and Resorts.
    Simulated hotel bookings to test revenue management strategies.
    Rate aggregation for yield management earns millions of dollars monthly.
    Developed price supports for low demand after 2001 September 11.
    Designing new revenue management for group bookings expected to earn
    many tens of millions of dollars per year.  Working with hotel brand
    managers to explore pricing decision support opportunities.
    Designed and developed new yield management algorithm that runs many
    times faster than old program and gives explanation of its answers,
    an optimization platform for the new group-booking evaluator.

1999 August through 2000 September, CANAC, Inc.
    Continued work on rail line simulation from Provar (below),
    extended model to deal with long trains on short tracks.
    Worked on database and interfaces for line simulation
    environment and addressed some sophisticated modeling issues.
    Designed and developed graphical tool for modeling rail
    interlockings (multiple-rail intersections) for simulation.

1997 April through 1999 July, Provar, Inc.
    Designed and wrote a rail line simulation for BNSF Railway with
    meet-pass dispatch planning that has been used to model operations.
    Designed and wrote image processing algorithms for an automated
    flood plain determination system using 106,000 government maps.
    Designed and wrote statistical analysis of residual vehicle values
    (used-car auction prices) for AutoNation USA during its start-up.

1995 November through 1997 April, InterDigital Communications Corporation.
    Designed and wrote an advanced capacity model for CDMA digital
    cellular telephone technology.  Also wrote a simulation for
    InterDigital which helped designers understand the limitations of
    existing power control algorithms.

1991 April through 1995 October, Northwest Airlines.
    My airline booking simulation became the yield management
    optimization earning the airline thirty million extra dollars per
    year until 2005.  My delay and cancellation reporting software helps
    decision makers in maintenance and ground operations identify root
    causes of delays.  My jet engine reliability study helped powerplant
    engineers understand forecasting of engine removals.

1982 April through 1991 March, AT&T Bell Laboratories.
    Designed and wrote airline schedule planning system which was
    purchased by two airlines and used for fleet assignment.
    Did economic and network design studies for AT&T long distance
    network.  My simulations influenced product design of self-healing
    ISDN networks.  My mobile telephone studies influenced the design
    and development of cellular telephony in its earliest days.

        ACADEMIC WORK EXPERIENCE

1996 March through 1997 April, Educaid Tutor.
    As a one-on-one tutor in the Educaid network I taught Mathematics,
    Physics, Statistics, Astronomy, and Operations Research at the high
    school, undergraduate, and graduate levels.  Students ranged from
    teenagers to working students taking courses for professional growth.

1994 September through 1994 December, University of Minnesota.
    Taught Introduction to Linear Programming, a Ph.D. level
    course, for the Operations and Management Science Department
    at the Carlson School of Management.  I got good reports from other
    faculty and excellent teaching reviews from my eleven students.

1994 May through 1995 July, Placement optimizer for Georgia Tech.
    The Universal High Speed Placer, HSP 4790, takes parts from feeder
    tapes and inserts them onto printed circuit boards with a pneumatic
    turret.  Working with Georgia Tech faculty and Ford engineers, I was
    able to add features to their existing software, streamline its data
    architecture, and correct some algorithm flaws and modeling errors.

        WORK EXPERIENCE (AFTER HOURS, SUMMER)

2001 July through 2002 October, CDMA book for McGraw-Hill.
    Wrote CDMA Capacity and Quality Optimization, a 600 page book
    on code-division-multiple-access (CDMA) wireless technology,
    how CDMA works, how to install and grow CDMA wireless systems.

    following sixteen years later.

1980 January through 1983 July, The Psionic Corporation.
    Founded this company that patented, manufactured, marketed, and
    distributed the LOCI phonograph tonearm.  While running my own
    company did not make me rich, I learned to deal with a wide variety
    of craftsmen and vendors, and learned some machining skills.

1979 June through 1979 August, Xerox PARC Analysis Research Group.
    Worked for a Summer on techniques for motivating sales force to
    provide accurate forecasts and simulated a two-priority queue with
    periodic arrival rates.
