At Memorex Corp. designing a "Matched Filter" for a 14" disc drive. This electrical filter was to make a pulse more symmetric and slimmer. The more symmetrical and slimmer a pulse, would help minimize the "Pattern-Induced-BitShift" (PIB). Heavy math problem! (Main LaPlace transform equation took me 22 pages of hand written notes to derive the necessary equations. Oh, those little minus signs kept giving me trouble!) Next job was at Lockheed Missiles & Space Co. Here I had different assignments. One assignment had me analyzing, what is called Digital Signal Processing (DSP), a plume from a space craft to try and label it as a "Friend or Foe". If its a Friend no problem, but a Foe may require action to be taken or it may shoot you down. This job required understanding the Fourier Transform. (FFT algorithm was being used. I switched to 10 other algorithms and partially solved the problem.) For more, see my SpectrumSolvers v. 6 app... goal-driven.net . After lay-off from Lockheed Missiles & Space Co. in 1991, 1991-Present Optimal Designs Enterprise President/Consultant Main objective is to train engineers & scientists to solve their own math problems without real programming. Most modeling, simulation & optimization problems can be solved in a page or two with the aide of a calculus-level language/compiler. Wrote a math textbook/casebook titled "Engineering Design Optimization using Calculus Level Methods: A Casebook Approach"; Created a website, goal-driven.net; and, developed four specialized software applications for the engineering community (visit my website for more): • CurvFit™ application solves fitting data to an math expression; I recommend the Lorentzian series for real world data problems. Sine & Damped Sine series are also available. • FC-Compiler™ application is a (free) Calculus-level Compiler that simplifies Tweaking parameters in ones math model. FC is based on Automatic Differentiation that simplifies computer code to an absolute minimum; i.e., a mathematical model, constraints, and the objective (function) definition. • Match-n-Freq™ solves pole/zero locations for a matched filter that is known for pulse slimming or shaping characteristics. Program determines optimal transfer function, H(s).; and, • SpectrumSolvers™ provides 13 spectral estimation algorithms for comparing Power Spectral Density (PSD) results. Algorithms include Akaike, Burg, Durbin, Maximum Likelihood Method, Mayne-Firoozan, Prony, Yule-Walker, and et al.

Born and raised in Issaquah, Washington (30 minutes east of Seattle), Billy Price grew up very active in sports. Hiking and camping were staples. Mountain biking was a frequent treat. At eighteen, he left home and entered college. He was on top of the world, as the cliche goes. And then in a moment, his life changed forever. On October 9, 1996, Billy fell from a three-story window, broke multiple vertebrae and damaged his spinal cord causing permanent paralysis. The medical diagnosis? Quadriplegia. And the world that Billy was accustomed to—a world filled with fierce independence—was gone. Instead, Billy spent the next five-months of his life at the University of Washington Medical Center piecing his life back together both physically and mentally. Forced to grapple with either success or sorrow, Billy opted to focus on the function he still had instead of letting the thought of what he had lost consume him. Inch by inch, day by day, he improved, not in the sense of reversing paralysis, but in the sense of building confidence and gaining strength in what he had. Following his rehabilitation, Billy returned to college and finished his mechanical engineering degree. He relearned how to drive. He took the ski slopes back as a sit skier. He landed a job with the Federal Aviation Administration. He bought a condominium and started living on his own...until he met the love of his life and got married. And all that aside, somewhere along the way he connected with his longtime friend Darin Donaldson and started a shoe company that continues to grow and impact lives. Life is a journey. Enjoy it! Embrace and receive what life has to offer. Find strength in the storms. Be a person of action. Build on what you have. Hold on to hope. Have courage. Move forward. We all have a story. We cannot go back and rewrite how our story begins. But we can change how our story ends. It all comes down to choice And the choice to change can be made today. Giddy-up!
