CYAN

After college at SWOSU (Southwestern Oklahoma State University), I spent 8 years in aircraft avionics with the US Marines, then 8 more years in industrial electronics with 3M Co., followed by 19 more years with Cyan Co, Inc. in Weatherford, Oklahoma. During those 19 years at Cyan, I repaired over 8,500 total items (yes, I counted them), on things as small as a hearing aid to as large as a helicopter. At Cyan, we liked to tell people we'd repair anything with a transistor in it. And we did... During that time, we also designed, built and sold, a fair, albeit limited amount of equipment of our own design and manufacture, including some that we sold to 3M, several national labs, the military, and overseas. And, oh, yeh, we produced a fair amount of software too. (That would have been in the 80s and 90s.) I'll bet I was the first, and at the time, maybe the only, independent developer in Oklahoma who sold software products to the entities listed above. But, unlike Bill Gates, my income..
