`
`Summary
`While a student at UC Berkeley, I began playing with some of
`the world's first surface-micromachined MEMS acceleration
`sensors. Based on this research, I developed a tiny tracking
`device for computer gaming, and started Crossbow Technology to
`commercialize. For almost two decades, Crossbow (now Moog
`Crossbow) has been building new products that leverage sensing,
`navigation, and communication.
`
`Following sale of of Crossbow to Moog, co-founded Yabberz with my
`wife Melissa Horton to promote enjoyable civic discussion on news
`topics.
`
`I deeply enjoy company and team building, as well as a good round
`of golf.

`
`Crossbow Technology
`President/CEO and Co-Founder
`August 1995 - May 2011 (15 years 10 months)
`Founding: August 1995, co-founded Crossbow Technology with A. Richard
`Newton (late Dean of Engineering at UC Berkeley) based on MEMS-based
`sensor system research concepts in the area of high-fidelity computer input
`devices for simulation.
`
`Financing: Following its founding, Crossbow exceeded $1M of revenue in
`1997, 10 employees, and profitable without venture capital. As Crossbow
`expanded, raised venture capital from Cisco Systems, Intel Corporation,
`Morgenthaler Ventures, Cambria Group and Paladin Capital.
`
`Growth: Since inception to 2010, Crossbow’s annual revenue grew more
`than fifty fold with over $150M in delivered revenue. In 2010 sold several of
`Crossbow product lines and associated IP to MEMSIC for $18M. Crossbow
`currently growing rapidly with a focus on tracking devices and inertial
`navigation systems for Logistics/Asset Tracking and Military applications. Sold
`Crossbow to Moog in 2011.
`
`Inertial MEMS Systems Products: Crossbow founded on MEMS-based inertial
`measurement and navigation systems. Numerous military program wins,
`with over 185,000 of UAV flight hours collected on Crossbow inertial systems,
`and over 5000 units delivered into military service including many thousand
`of systems in active use in Iraq and Afghanistan by United States and allied
`forces. Achieved first FAA certification of a silicon MEMS-based attitude
`heading and reference system for primary flight display and autopilot control of
`general aviation aircraft.
`
`Wireless Sensor Networks: Developed award winning Wireless Sensor
`Networking product line based off of the ‘Mote’ technology pioneered at
`UC Berkeley. Crossbow won four Best of Sensor’s Expo Awards for
`MoteWorks software platform and wireless sensor hardware products and
`Crossbow won the BP Helios award for shipboard Wireless Sensor Network
