<description><![CDATA[When I was in my pre-teens I started my first business, an aircraft washing and cleaning company out at the local airport. After I became proficient at washing airplanes, I noted there were many helicopters on the field, so, of course being a young entrepreneur, I wanted to wash all those too. So, I asked one of the pilots; "so, how do you wash a helicopter" and he told me; "very carefully" and that's how you do it.]]></description>

And this makes sense because even though flying aircraft requires a lot of skill, we also have the capability of programming computer systems to do the same thing, and in many cases they can do it better.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Indeed, I started my first business washing airplanes at age 12. Cleaning airplanes at the airport isn't as easy as it might seem, especially for a short skinny kid trying to clean the tops of the wings. One of the most important things is to use lots of water and a little bit of high-pressure to get all that grit and sand off the top of the aircraft so that when you are applying pressure from a soap met or a soft bristle brush you don't end up putting minute scratches on the painted surfaces, as this can lead to...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[About 6-years ago, I had come up with a crazy looking aircraft design, somewhat of a radical departure from conventional aircraft of our present period. It looked weird but was fairly aerodynamically efficient, albeit probably not marketable or viable in the market place, as it just doesn't look anything like people expect an aircraft to look like you see.
