Someone once asked me how to achieve success in business. I told them "Never give up." They said, "But what about products and financing and the like?" And I said, "That is all important and customers are the most important. Never giving up to the challenge of satisfying them is the bottom line."

"Network technology has made enormous strides in the last 20 years. At our founding, field test instruments were simple, single-function devices. Now these applications demand smart, sophisticated test systems, and continue to expand in complexity. The evolution of RF and microwave components has also been driven by expanding technology, growing from basic components into signal conditioning subsystems. We can do amazing things with today's technology and I'm excited to be leading an organization that contributes to these changes."
