After Yale, serving on Navy submarines and Penn Law School, I practiced law in Manhattan and started writing a financial and legal thriller, published in 2013 as “Goshawk.” The story: a New York lawyer grows a loan-sharking business in what’s left of the Soviet Union after the Berlin Wall came down, that becomes so successful the Iraqis try to steal it to get out from under grinding international sanctions; they kill his girlfriend, try to murder him and kidnap his children while the action races on in Eastern Europe and America and lower Manhattan’s courtrooms.
During the first stages of drafting “Goshawk,” I conceived of my touchless, holographic HoloTouch® human-machine interface technology. It empowers people to intuitively operate a wide variety of electronics by merely passing a finger through holographic images of what would otherwise be keys or buttons, floating in the air at a convenient location – no moving parts to fail under use or abuse and no contamination transfer. After patenting HoloTouch technology in major world markets, I’m working to commercialize it, helping manufacturers to adapt it to their products. Along the way, I’m looking to make “Goshawk” into a movie. “Goshawk” and HoloTouch technology can both be found at www.holotouch.com.
