When I was a delegate from OK at NYSC, I was working for an eccentric retired air force
test pilot named John Saxon at his dining room table. The co. grew and shortly before I
got my PhD in 1991, he called me and asked if I would be interested in running his
company, then with about 20 employees and revenues of a few million a year. I replied
that he had gotten the wrong man, as I had not even run a lemonade stand. He laughed my
concern off declaring "Just fake it and act like you know what you are doing."
I did this from 1991 until 2001 when I stepped down as President and CEO and stayed on an
additional year as Chairman. Our story has been chronicled in numerous publications like
the Washington Post, Newsweek, and the Christian Science Monitor. (I reached the
"pinnacle" of business success when my picture appeared in "dots" on
the front page of the Wall Street Journal on April 11, 2001 (above the fold no less! ) I
am now retired from my position as chairman and am pursuing a lifetime passion for
teaching.

I was the winner of the coveted Zelda award, which I still have, for having the most
members of the camp attend my talk. I think I had more than 1/2 the members of the camp
attend. The only other "honor" that approached this was getting my picture (in
dots) on the front page of the Wall Street Journal, and "above the fold" no less
!
