• Initially as a Raychem Field Sales Engineer and eventually the Midwest Regional Sales Man-
<br /> ager, Mr. Finucane was responsible for the inclusion of his company's specialty wire and cable
<br /> products, as well as the company's highly proprietary electrical interconnection devices for
<br /> most of the military and aerospace companies in the Midwest–i.e., LTV, General Dynamics,
<br /> Bell Helicopter,Collins Radio,Texas Instruments,etc. For three of the five years in the field,
<br /> Mr. Finucane's territory produced the highest sales volume of any Raychem territory in the
<br /> United States.
<br /> • As the Product/Marketing Manager for Raychem Corporation's telecommunications product
<br /> line, Mr. Finucane was responsible for the design, production tooling, start-up, overall produc-
<br /> tion,of a complete line of electrical connector termination devices. The devices involved in this
<br /> program were used to complete the basic main-frame electrical interconnections on the first
<br /> generation electronic switching equipment used by the then two major telephone companies,
<br /> General Telephone and Electric and American Telephone&Telegraph. The use of these de-
<br /> vices brought about an increase in the measured manufacturing efficiency of these switching
<br /> systems of more than 60%.
<br /> • As President and CEO of Metronics Associates, Inc., Mr. Finucane presided over the five year
<br /> financial turn-around of a seriously debt plagued environmental services company. Redirecting
<br /> the company from being a service enterprise into a manufacturing focus resulted in its becom-
<br /> ing financially healthy. Even today, the Metronics Dynacalibratoe and its Dynacal®Permeation
<br /> Devices are considered to be the market leaders in the area of dynamic gas analyzer calibration
<br /> instrumentation. Metronics Associates, Inc. had become sufficiently healthy from a financial
<br /> perspective that it became a very attractive acquisition target. It was eventually sold to Valco In-
<br /> struments Co., Inc. of Houston,TX, and remains today a division of this company under the
<br /> name of VICI Metronics, Inc.
<br /> • As the proprietor and owner of High Tech Enterprises, Mr. Finucane has maintained a consis-
<br /> tent 27+year involvement in the areas of engineering management,environmental engineering,
<br /> and issues of occupational safety and health. He has developed a variety of procedures aimed at
<br /> monitoring and mitigating certain hazards in the hospital environment that involve potentially
<br /> harmful vapors. His hospital related work has involved the areas of waste and fugitive anesthe-
<br /> sia agents [nitrous oxide, Halothane, Sevoflurane,etc.],gas sterilization [ethylene oxide],equip-
<br /> ment disinfecting processes (glutaraldehyde[,and dialysis bundle regeneration and pathology
<br /> [formaldehyde[. His contracts to develop monitoring and hazard mitigation methods and pro-
<br /> cedures in both the industrial and the government areas have included: semiconductor clean
<br /> rooms,chemical weapons demilitarization facilities,the refrigeration spaces in various U. S.
<br /> Navy Warships,external buried fuel tank facilities, a major clean-up of hazardous and radioac-
<br /> tive waste sites at two large government super-fund sites,etc. In addition, Mr. Finucane has
<br /> taught college level courses in the areas of quantitative methods in management decisions,envi-
<br /> ronmental engineering,ambient air monitoring,and workplace safety. He maintains a California
<br /> Community College Teaching Credential as an Instructor in the academic areas of mathematics,
<br /> physics,chemistry,and engineering. His consulting clients have included: the Bonneville
