After earning his degree in Aeronautical Engineering at age 20, he worked for 37 years at Grumman Aerospace Corp. and had important roles during W2 and subsequent wars. He also had important roles on the Manned Moon Landing Program and in Advanced Civil Systems. After early retirement, he formed his own small, innovative corporation, retiring again in 1986.
