"Elegant Optical Solutions and Advice..." is my motto and work thesis. My practice reaches out to all who need to incorporate optical devices or design into their products, and to those who just want fact-based advice in the technology group. My clients range from some of the largest medical device companies to brand new start ups, to patent attorneys and stock market analysts needing a little insight into ophthalmic instrumentation and the use of optical and laser based technology. I offer instruction in Laser Safety through the Center for Applied Competitive Technologies based at Advanced Technology and Education Park, Tustin California. I also offer US representation and agency to those firms not currently doing business in the United States.
