My passions beyond innovating new embodiments and Art, are piloting aircraft from a complex twin fixed-winged aircraft to the thrill of vertical flight in helicopters. Golf is a passion that has eluded my ability to overcome my mental weaknesses in golf disciplines to qualify for the PGA Tour, in spite of my relentless and continual attempts to nearly qualify even through today. My golf games claim of short lived fame was that I was fortunate enough to carry the title of worlds longest golf ball shot in 1996 for several years afterwards in competition with a 448 yards, 2 feet, 3 inch shot and that seemed to drive my competitive juices to compete…
For me, one single open-air country music concert in Las Vegas, Nevada USA on October 1st, 2017 changed everything… I knew that VisArma® could make a real difference in people’s lives. That specific event accelerated my motivations to expand the patented VisArma® military wearable applications into a Static setting. I knew that I could identify the exact location of a shooter within nanoseconds after the first shot was fired, through a Static system. Providing effective countermeasures, predetermined exit strategies and plausible solutions to probable victims from becoming actual victims, would make a serious difference in many people’s lives. My new focus was to find a way to get them, before the bad guys had an opportunity to get us… 1,100 bullets flew that night while targeting thousands of patrons within an open air concert while the shooter was securely perched unidentified or unlocated on the 32 floor of a far off hotel… From start to finish the entire massacre took less than ten minutes for the shooter to victimize spectators was at an astonishing 82% injury rate over the numbers of bullets fired. It took another 50 minutes for police to locate, isolate and then get to the shooter. 60 long minutes in total. Phone calls from surrounding hotel room guests shortened timelines from noise complaints to hotel guest services of which aided in locating the shooter faster. The shooter killed 59, injured 869 (413 by bullets). 928 music fans lives were shattered within ten fast minutes. Surprisingly, 456 people weren’t shot only to become injured by trying to escape the target area. Nearly half of all of the victims didn’t know where to run to, where to hide or which direction to safely escape to… Space Shields® is a patented Static system’s solution that will force a terrorist to think long and hard before they consider firing their first shot. To know they themselves would be located within nanoseconds and shortly afterwards in turn, become the hunted… would in my estimate, be an effective deterrent.
Hopefully, the several VisArma® innovations will be my legacy.
