My primary profession is as a business consultant, specializing in the development of new products, business research, and marketing/advertising. This is a result of having grown up with a father who was an architect and framing contractor, who took me to work with his when I was young as in kindergarten.

Not only did I enjoy watching my father design buildings and construct them, I also remember when I was 6 years old seeing my father prototype buildings out of balsa wood and other materials. In the backyard of our home, we would do land development with the matchbox construction vehicles he bought for me, using small sections of bushes for landscape trees.

And I remember the bed he once made for me when I was young. It was a scale size diesel train bed, that my friends and I would play in and climb on tip of.

PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT & MARKETING CONSULTING
After graduating high school and having received an acceptance letter from San Diego State University for engineering, when I went to enroll I was refused, the person telling me I wasn't on the list.

That was okay, because my father was a consultant, and I always remember him saying, "The engineer is coming to do my calculations. Wow, I was amazed my dad had an engineer! So, when I was refused admission at San Diego State University, I decided to just get out of line and simply start my own business. And that's how I became a product development consultant at only 18 years of age.

My first client was Carlsbad Subaru in Carlsbad, California, near where I lived in La Costa, who contacted me to turn one of their new cars into a Trans-Am type race car, which I had built by a body shop in nearby San Marcos. My second client was Pacific Connections, a manufacturer in Long Beach California who had a 30,000 piece overrun of visor bags (matching purse/visor sets) he needed to liquidate, which I immediately accomplished through two customers.

More recently, my clients have included those in varied industries, including a top Hollywood film producer (Dama Claire Chasle), a New York firm that designs and installs skyscraper interiors (RP Interior Group), as well as as California drag strip developer (a former owner of Myrtle Beach Drag Strip in South Carolina).

I not only assist my clients to develop products and marketing their products, but I've developed my own products over the past 40+ years since 18 years of age. I develop products to be licensable, which means putting them on the market to attract attention and demonstrate marketability/saleability and gather customer data and customer experiences.

As all product development, marketing and advertising begins with research, my development of products for a potential license offer requires researching the needs of target companies and industry leaders, for which the product is developed for. Once I've developed a product, I look to see what companies or industries need it most. That is in addition to needs of consumers.

PUBLISHING
And example is my 25 Amazon books that began with my identification of the "spoken" ancient Egyptian hieroglyphic language. Confirming it over a 20-year period, I published the proof in my first 2009 book.

Today, the books are in schools, public libraries, and major university libraries including...
* University of Southern California (USC)
* Princeton University
* Cornell University
* University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
* Addis Ababa University (AAU) in Ethiopia
* University of Oxford in the UK
* University of Duesto in Spain

And 2 of my book titles are in the Vatican Library in Vatican City.

I believe in joint development of products. So all my books are developed in cooperation with other publishers, including...
* Dover Publications NY (http://doverpublications.com)
* The Online Etymology Dictionary (http://etymonline.com)
* The Ancient Hebrew Resource Center (http://ancient-hebrew.org)

And I was offered a publishing/distribution deal from an editor at a major middle school publisher/distributor, which turned out to include a no-cost development deal.

DEVELOPING LICENSABLE PRODUCTS
While a major part of my putting the products on the market is to gather data about potential customers, customer demographics, price point, customer preferences, and usage data. From my point of view, it is more valuable to a potential licensee if the potential licensor has acquired some data and demonstrated sales (even if not millions of dollars in sales) related to the product's potential in the marketplace.

Especially product manufacturers seeking a competitive advantage, competing with larger manufacturers or those more entrenched in the marketplace.

Almost all my own products have received license or other offers, including from:
* Spencer's (1985)
* Universal (1987)
* Philips Electronics (1988)
* Rain Bird (2013)
* Microchip Technology, Inc. (2017)

In addition to the development deals, I have had no-cost strategic development agreements with companies for my various products including...
* Microsoft
* LG
* Kodak
* Kellogg's
* Olympus

ROBOTICS & AI JOINT DEVELOPMENT DEALS
Current ongoing no-cost out-of-the-country development deals include...
* A no-cost joint development deal since 2013 for my humanoid robot companions, which walk without motors or electronics and capable of holding hours-long conversations with elderly, shut-ins and those who have found themselves isolated from society
* A no-cost joint development deal with YourApp24 (Germany), since 2012 for the AI to both the robot companions and walking mecha vehicles
* A no-cost joint development deal with QD Donrex (China), since September 2023 for the walking mecha vehicles, which includes the final design, engineering, manufacture, warehousing and drop-shipping to customers, distributors and retailers

I don't believe I've had products on the market, since I was 23 years old, that didn't receive some type of offer.

ABOUT THE MECHA WALKING VEHICLES
The mecha are obviously unique in that they are giant pilotable robots. But that's only on the surface. That's the obvious. There's a lot that's not obvious, discovered after a Robotics Director for the National Science Foundation (NSF) Seed Fund suggested I submit a pitch for their $2 million grant. As a result, my company has received a SAM.gov cagecode to receive government funding and participate in government contracts.

Some of resulting discovered, not-so-obvious, benefits to consumers and workplaces/workzones of being 3 feet up inside an 11-foot-tall mecha, with a 9-foot-high line of sight, include...

* Pedestrians are safer in mecha - An estimated 72% of pedestrian fatalities occur outside of intersections;
* Workers normally on foot are safer up inside mecha in workzones - 76% of workzone fatalities are caused by pedestrian vehicles and another major cause is workers on foot backed over by dump trucks;
* Pedestrians and workers in mecha are more visible - pedestrians and workers normally on foot are up to 6 times more visible up inside mecha to automobiles, workzone vehicles, and heavy equipment operators;
* Pedestrians and workers normally on feet are raised out of reach of direct collisions - Pedestrians and workers normally on foot are up above automobile bumpers and truck/SUV front ends;
* Workzone workers normally on foot are eye-to-eye with heavy equipment operators - In the 11-foot-tall mecha on construction zones, the mecha pilots are eye-to-eye with operators of even the largest excavators and bulldozers.

THE DESIGN WAS UTILIZED BY UNIVERSAL'S "EXOSQUAD"
The design of my original 8-foot-tall mecha prototype was utilized by Universal for the E-Frame mech suits of their "ExoSquad" Saturday morning TV animated cartoon series. Since then I've steadily worked towards a way to bring the mecha to you. Now 11-feet-tall, the mecha include mecha with feet to walk around your neighborhood, playing GPS video gaming, laser tag, paintball, and more.

The mecha with motorized wheels under the feet allows you to drive by wire, seated up inside or being pulled behind the mecha. Our mecha are designed to be fun for all!

GAMING FUN FROM VIRTUAL INTO REALITY
Mecha Robotics Corporation provides consumers around the world with the fun and excitement of owning and piloting their very own mecha, like those seen in movies, cartoons, comics, and video games. Great for GPS video gaming, laser tag, paintball, exercise, adventure, everyday transport, and more!

Now, you don't have to watch a movie to experience sci-fi thrills and excitement. Up inside piloting your own mecha, now you and your friends can be the movie!
