Since moving to Arkansas in 2003, he has assisted various Arkansas groups in knowledge based job creation. He founded two Arkansas based biosciences companies: Litmus and Vivione Biosciences, taking Vivione to an IPO in 2013 on the Canadian stock exchange. With the support of a forward thinking family, Ted started his first business at the age of twelve—a landscaping business. At the same time, his younger brother (ten) started a competing landscaping business. The two were forced to merge after about a year by their father. At the time of merger, the two had over a dozen employees and around a 100 customers. Ted received his Bachelor of Science in Aerospace Engineering from Penn State University in 1986. After college he was recruited into a number of leadership positions within a variety of technology companies. He moved south in the 1990’s, working for FedEx on aerospace product development and corporate strategy. Ted strongly believes that with dedication, anyone can be a successful inventor and entrepreneur. He believes the key is working ½ days—you just need to decide which 12 hours to work out of the 24 available. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Those interested in joining the club are encouraged to attend the meeting.
