Born in New Jersey, I have lived in a number of areas in the North Eastern U.S where we left our collection of once new consumer products (85,000) in Ann Arbor, Michigan. As a result of authoring the Book: "What Were They Thinking?" my wife Jean and I have been priviledged to travel to many countries including China, Russia, Japan, Canada, UK, Australia Spain, Denmark, Mexico, Taiwan, Egypt and others where I have spoken on the lessons I learned from our collection of 85,000 once new consumer products. We left the collection in Ann Arbor, and retired to Southern California in 2001. I still write a monthly column on new products and marketing in the U.S. for a publication in Taiwan, which I have done for over 20 years

With all the traveling around this country and the world, I can testify first hand there are some interesting places elsewhere, and there are executives around the world that I helped focus on what not to do in new product introductions. But I can testify first hand "There is no place like the U.S and I am proud to be an American."
