Where are they now...?


Haven't seen a thread like this. I'm sure most of us have seen at least a portion of a VH1 "Where are they now?" episode. How about we do one for audio designers/engineers that put a noteworthy product on the audio map and their subsequent journey?

Example: Designer/Product/Where are they now (maybe adding stops and designs along the way)

OK. Let's kick it off...

Arnie Nudell (Servo Statik/Infinity IRS) --> Harmon --> Genesis Advanced Technologies

Personally, I'd really love to know if someone can fill in the blanks for Vimak digital products and Lazarus hybrid amps.

Cheers,

Bruce Thigpen, one of the nice guys in the business, is still around. John Bau got out of the business many years ago. Walt Bender stopped publishing Audiomart several years ago, although I imagine he still has quite a bit of gear around his house. Not sure what happened with Lazarus, although a friend had been in touch with someone years ago.

One guy not mentioned is John Bicht of Versa Dynamics. He's still around, although his company isn't. Another is Mitch Cotter. A year or two ago he popped up briefly but I haven't seen anything further. Of course the ultimate 'where is he now?' guy has to be John Iverson.

John Iverson..The man with the iron handshake. According to him abducted by aliens. Actually that was his story . John has been listed as missing for many years now..something to do with the witness protection program. Truley a character to say the least. Oh the audio stories I could tell.

Joe D'Appolito, developer of the M-T-M driver configuration that bears his name, is now chief engineer at Snell.
Arnie Nudell founded Eosone in the mid to late 90's.
I have one of their subs.
Not sure if Eosone is still around though.
