FOUNDER

The Company was founded by John Pauli in 1987 after spending 10 years at The Boeing Company in Seattle and five years at Eldec Corporation in Lynnwood, Washington. These working years provided the necessary experience from market, technical, and business perspectives to achieve start-up success in the Aerospace industry.

Key assignments at Boeing included Design Engineering in Boeing Commercial Airplane Maintenance & Ground Operations, Lead Engineer on the AWACS (E-3) airplane Electrical Power System Maintenance Trainer, and Lead Engineer on the 767 AC Power System. John rounded out his large company experience as a Product Development Marketing Manager (7J7) at Boeing Commercial Airplane Group.

Medium-sized company experience at Eldec Corporation consisted of managing the company's Fiber Optics Research Group, winning, as Proposal Manager, the B-2 Proximity Sensing System contract, and leading a seven-person staff effort to produce the company's first 10-year Strategic Business Plan.

John holds a BS degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Washington and a MBA in Marketing from Seattle University. Prior to college he learned first-hand what it takes for equipment to survive in the field as a US Navy Radioman for four years. Currently, he continues to run the day to day operations of the company.
