Inspired by: One of my favorite quotes is from Albert Einstein. "Any intelligent fool can make things bigger and more complex...it takes a touch of genius--and a lot of courage to move in the opposite direction". I love the challenge of taking something complex, and finding a simpler solution. I also enjoy adapting existing off-the-shelf common components to perform the same function as high-tech, overly-expensive commercial devices when building my prototypes. Cheaper prototyping, is one of the keys to successful inventing. Simplicity and economy are my two most important guide-words when considering the development of a product, allowing it to be purchased by the largest segment of the population.
