2moWhat an honor to have helped deliver on Ray O'Connor's vision. When I entered this industry thirty years ago Ray was a visionary who had conceptual visions of where the industry would be in the next thirty years. He acted on those concepts and brought products to the market that were disruptive and differentiating. He labeled these technologies TM1, or First to Market. Topcon Positioning Systems Lobby in Livermore, CA has a two story wall with thousands of US, and International Patents. I congratulate Ivan Di Federico and Philip Thach on their promotions, but I can only assume that they will feel like the artist that took over after Michaelangelo. I would also like to give a shout out to recently retired Joe Brabec who was the Chief Technology Officer for Topcon who made Ray O'Connor's dreams become reality.
