1. Why did you decide to do a webinar with Business Review Webinars?

Great way for Tait Communications to present our point of view on Critical Voice Communications and the opportunity to optimize that investment with our GridLinks Solution.

2. What will the audience learn from attending the webinar?

Two key learning objectives, first, that Grid Links can help optimize a “must have” investment in critical voice communications, and secondly, GridLinks can help Utilities minimize the capital and operating expenses associated with Service Management, Private Broadband and Carrier Services.

3. How did you get into the industry and what do you most enjoy about your role?

I first began working with Utility customers over 20 years ago while troubleshooting a critical voice infrastructure failure, and since that time have developed a deep admiration for the important work they do and the critical services they provide our communities.

I immensely enjoy working with customers, understanding problems and developing solutions that solve them in an optimal way.

4. What would someone be surprised to know about you?

I hold patents in several RF technology fields including RFID, Cellular and Wi-Fi.

5. Who or what is your inspiration?

I am inspired by people that don’t give up and invent new ways of doing things. A few examples are Sir Edmond Hillary, Richard Branson, Elan Musk and Dean Kamen.
