Fuel Efficient Boats
In negotiating to purchase aluminum jet riverboat company, found
that jet boats were strikingly fuel inefficient. This led to pioneering
effort to bring electronic controls (commonly used in jet planes, cars
and hydroelectric systems) to boats, i.e., IntelliJet.

Co-Generation, Anaerobic Waste Digestion
Recruited by Washington Energy Company as GM and VP Ops to turn
around a facility in Hawaii employing 70 people originally intended to
convert manure to organic products and energy cogeneration.
•
Analyzed system and business environment in search of profitable
business model.
•
Refocused revenue model to being paid for digesting organic waste
not suitable for landfill or Hawaii waste burning plant.
•
Won management support for the plan and $millions in funding.
•
Recruited team of engineers, including biochemical, mechanical
and electrical, to execute plan. Closed unrelated or unprofitable
operations. Reduced workforce by 50%. Redesigned processes
and replaced equipment as necessary to serve new purposes.
•
Recruited and mentored new management team.
•
Redesigned/specialized trucks to pick up and transfer wet waste.
•
Delivered a functional 50 ton/day waste disposal system/operation
that ran successfully under new ownership for several years.
•
Granted two US Patents.
Small Hydroelectric
VP Ops of small hydroelectric, wind and solar company that had
recently been featured on the covers of Mother Earth News and Popular
Science.
•
Company had sold 15 small hydro power systems that used DC-toAC inverters to convert battery power to AC power for remote
houses, and the inverters were failing rapidly.
•
Analyzed options and concluded the essential power semiconductor
technology (field-effect transistors) was still a few years off.
•
Secured venture capital to trade out battery systems sales, go back
to proven AC hydroelectric systems, and move into commercial
systems selling power to the utility.
•
Wrote and presented testimony to Public Service Commission, won
favorable rates and put the first hydro cogeneration on both the
Montana Power and Idaho-Power-and-Light grids.
Food Processing
At Carnation company, proposed and won funding for implementing
numerous solutions to production system issues that resulted in
generating higher output and higher quality.
