Hometown: We live in an old stone barn on a William Penn Land Grant from 1682 in Northern Chester County, PA.
Favorite Sports Team: Rutgers and Princeton college football, would sneak under the fence to watch games in Princeton (before there was security)
I want 30 seconds in an elevator with: Mr. Tesla, Elon Musk—I’d talk to him about colonizing Mars.
Industry Top Priority for 2023: Educating and developing a workforce and competencies to push us forward in the marketplace, especially considering the significant number of telecom professionals preparing to retire. We must prepare the next generation of talent.
TV intro you won’t skip? “MASH”—I served in Korea and have an Army Jeep from that era.
Pickleball or tennis? I believe you have to be pickled to play pickleball. If pickleball is for adults, is gherkin-ball is for children?
Streaming app I use the most: Amazon Prime and Netflix
My best ideas come when… you can minimize self-imposed obstacles.
Favorite place you’ve ever visited? Iceland. I lived in Reykjavik worked in Hveragerði off and on for a couple years. Simply breathtaking.
Last TV series watched: “Sopranos,” because it is where I grew up (Edison, just south of Newark)
What energy efficient technology do you think the industry would most benefit from? Reducing network power consumption and use of photo voltaic cells or systems.
Biggest misconception about fixed wireless solutions? Coverage and bandwidth. The closer you are to the fixed wireless site the more bandwidth you have. That bandwidth decreases as you get further away, until it is no longer usable. Coverage is limited at greater distances from the fixed wireless site.
