KØXB - Rick at Lake Vermilion, Minnesota USA

I like to tell people I am a professional ham radio operator and fisherman. Once you are retired, I guess you can say things like that. For over 40 years, I have had a ham license, and I have loved to fish even longer. This is the first time in my life I can spend a lot of time on my hobbies.

Retiring a few years ago, I worked most of my career for the Honeywell Corporation in Minneapolis, Minnesota and Albuquerque, New Mexico. When I retired, I was a Vice President in Honeywell's Corporate Technology Office in Minneapolis. Prior to that, I was Vice President of Operations in Albuquerque, Director of Engineering in Minneapolis, and I held several other engineering and scientific positions. Prior to joining Honeywell, I worked in the Physics Department at the University of Wisconsin - Madison, at MIT Lincoln Lab and at MIT.

I received Bachelor's and Ph.D. Degrees in Physics from MIT, and I am currently a member of the MIT Educational Council. I hold three U.S. patents and had nine articles published in scientific journals. As a graduate student, I received a National Science Foundation Fellowship.
