Professional
Charles J. Simon, BSEE, MSCS, nationally-recognized entrepreneur, software developer, manager: with a broad management and technical expertise.
With degrees in both Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences Mr. Simon has many years of computer experience including pioneering work in AI and CAD.
His technical experience includes the creation of two unique Artificial Intelligence systems along with software for successful neurological test equipment. Combining AI development with biomedical nerve signal testing gives him the singular insight needed to create this new book.
Mr. Simon is also an active and entertaining speaker — see the Software and Publications Summaries for topics.
Memberships:
Scientific: IEEE, AAAI, and AAAS; High-IQ: TripelNine Society, Intertel, and Mensa.
Personal
In addition, Charles has been an active philanthropist and has contributed the development of several software systems to support interactive museum exhibits using RFID tags and multimedia presentations. He is a founding donor to Mobius Science Center with legacy donations to PNWU Medical School, and a major donor to the Explorers' Club 2019 Lowell Thomas Awards grant.
In addition to developing software and starting companies, Charles is an avid blue-water sailor and adventurer having captained his boat around the world and through the arctic Northwest passage including a unique circumnavigation of the North American continent.
He sailed his most recent boat, a Taswell 58, over 50,000 miles in the last five years and is a licensed Captain. He usually sails with his wife of 39 years, Cathy.
