Experience
Working as a youth in a commercial lighting manufacturer (that was founded in 1929) the President of Sterling Innovations LLC gained extensive experience during his ensuing 29 years with the company. His lighting and manufacturing background encompasses almost every aspect of the Commercial Lighting Industry, from product and application design to implementation of C.N.C. (computer numerical control) sheet metal based product manufacturing and internal company infrastructures to National sales.
Simultaneously, in the early 1980's, the President of Sterling Innovations LLC designed and developed the first wireless remote control system for automobiles. His original system controlled 8 different functions, including the activation and deactivation of a vehicle alarm system. The concept gained in popularity and today, over two and a half decades later, remains an important feature associated with the majority of automobiles sold.
In the mid 1980's he became enamored by what he believed to be the tremendous potential of the then, emerging “personal computer” and by the late 1980's, he and his partner jointly created an alternative full-featured disk operating system that they named “SmartDOS”, which he sold to two disk drive manufacturers (Rana Systems and Astra Systems) as well as direct sales through retail outlets such as Sears.
Later in his career with the same lighting manufacturing company, he setup and supervised: a new Purchasing Department, Photometric Department, and a C.N.C. Manufacturing Department, which utilized 3D model based creation of lighting fixture housings, reflector systems and parts, converting those models into finished products via computer “G-code” programs via C.N.C. manufacturing equipment, to quickly and efficiently cutout fold-up ready fixture bodies, reflector systems and parts from sheets of metal. His designs, parts and completed products have been installed all over the United States and beyond.
In the early 1990's, he realized that a company owner should ideally know how to run every aspect of their own company and worked towards that goal. In 1995 he became one of 4 partners of the company and the force behind the push to manufacture more efficiently through the use of computer based virtual 3D design, combined with “state of the art” C.N.C. manufacturing methods.
In 2005 he played a major role in selling the 76 year old lighting manufacturing company and then formed Sterling Innovations, providing services, products and parts for individuals and companies, including: lighting companies, metal part/product manufacturers, architectural/design firms and aerospace companies.
