Richard Frank is well-known in the industry with 40+ years of experience working both for his own consulting company and direct for other companies. Companies he’s been associated with include Harman, Infinity, Boston Acoustics, Dbx, and more. He has been doing more behind the scenes to help Modern Atomics get off the floor than any other person.
His brutal honesty about all the crazy things that Mike may dream up provides an important ballast to keep the company well-grounded and moving in the right direction.
Richard is uniquely qualified for this board because he has born witness to the same kind of industry-wide disbelief and outright contempt for what the then NetStreams and now Modern Atomics faces from people who do not believe what they are working on is real, or valuable. I think the industry has underestimated this team for 25 years now! Maybe it's time to help them. (Just a thought)
