      Ran the IT function at this cutting edge biotech company, a developer of "morphogenic proteins" that stimulate various types of healing in the human body. Like MediSense, a struggling biotech company with lots of dedicated, brilliant people. Merged with two other biotechs in 2000. At that point I decided to make ARCTOOLS a full time pursuit.

      Abbott acquired MediSense in 1995. Merged the small, efficient IT team from an often starving Biotech firm into the large IT infrastructure of a premier Big Pharma company. Often "wowed" my Abbott colleagues with all of the "we were so poor" stories. A little austerity builds character. Abbott acquired MediSense in 1995.

      Ran the IT function for this multi-national medical device company, developers of the world's first "biosensor". The device was used to measure blood glucose levels for people managing diabetes. An exciting, struggling biotech. Everyone wore multiple hats. Had the privilege of working with an OUTSTANDING group of people that still, more than 20 years later, get together once or twice a year to catch up. The company was subsequently bought by Abbott Labs. Ran the IT function for this multi-national medical device company, developers of the world's first "biosensor".

      Great experience. Developed ERP systems for defense and commercial manufacturers, retailers, distributors and others. Got to see lots of places... well, the airports anyway. Heard a lot of "...the NEXT job will be IN TOWN..." Six years later I left to go to one of my clients... a fifteen minute commute . Great experience.
