Robert's Story
Life
My Job
I'm retired now. worked for the Navy for 8 years and was in private industry since then. Most of my work was involved automatic landing systems, air traffic control systems, and simulation.
School
I graduated from Cooper Union in 1969 with a degree in Electrical Engineering. As it turned out, most of my work since undergraduate school has been in software, but the Electrical Engineering background has helped. More recently, I received an MBA from Dowling college.

e done involves mostly air traffic control and landing systems. My first job was with the Navy for 8 years in Maryland where I spent most of my time working on a system that landed planes on aircraft carriers. I then returned to NY where I worked for a company (Gould) that build trainers and simulators. You may remember the company -- its the one that sold hammers to the government for $500 each (There's an interesting story behind that). After that I was at Telephonics where I worked mainly on domestic and foreign air traffic control systems and related equipment. I retired in February, 2011.
