Mike
Mike has been part of the TV world for almost 40 years — he's been watching TV a really long time. More recently though, he started the trivialTV blog in August 2005, where he blogged for more than two years and was featured multiple times in USA Today's Pop Candy and Entertainment Weekly's PopWatch. He has also consulted on numerous projects because of the unique TV database that he built and has maintained for the last 12 years.
Before co-founding TVTango.com, he was an integral part of three other startups. He was one of the co-founders of a small company dedicated to developing a wearable non-invasive blood-glucose meter for diabetics. Prior to that, he was the Technical Lead for Sensigent, a software package developed by a small company to more effectively detect failures in chemical processes. Finally, he was a key employee of Cyrano Sciences, which developed an electronic nose for industrial, medical, and military applications.
In his other professional life, Mike is a lecturer at Caltech, where he earned his PhD in Chemical Engineering in 1999. He teaches senior-level design classes that focus on the concept stage of the development cycle, which requires students to consider all aspects of a project: intellectual property, technical specifications, economics, ethics, safety, globalization, and environmental issues.
If you read trivialTV during its short lifetime — and both of you know who you are — then you already know Mike as "Dr. TV."
