Abstract
Upon entering graduate school, I wanted to ensure real world experience prior to graduation. Fortunately, Jim Wyant was willing to accept me as a student, working with him at Wyko Corporation. After graduating I stayed on as an optical engineer, product manager, and eventually engineering and research director as the company was acquired by Veeco and eventually Bruker. Meanwhile Jim Wyant had brought another optics company to Tucson, 4D Technology, with unique technology developed by James Millerd and Neal Brock. That organization was growing well, with many former Wyko/Veeco employees, and as Bruker's Tucson business changed, I moved to help grow it further, staying in the Wyant ecosystem. This talk will focus on my journey under Jim's companies, including key milestones and stories from my own experience and those of some of the other long-term employees of Wyant’s optical enterprises.
