As an entrepreneur looking for young, fresh ideas
for marketing and innovative new products or services --
including government grant money to accelerate
prototyping -- you will find our group very user-friendly.
A small consulting and coaching group,
we are easy to talk to ... and, we have hands-on
experience including institutional and technical. The
following persons form the nucleus of our organization:
Bill Bartley, P.E.,
founder and chairman, learned when he was just out of
college the secrets of manufacturing engineering as he
began his industry career at one of the country's high-tech
leaders, Texas Instruments. He has become a specialist in
the application of integrated-circuit chips for
which TI is famous.. A distinguished military
graduate before entering industry, Bill was both a jet
and helicopter pilot and served as communications officer
for a major base in the Middle East; now, an active
general-aviation pilot, he holds commercial and flight
instructor (CFI) ratings. Bill transferred his
knowledge of integrated-chip technology from TI to the
design of satellite hardware and software at the
University of Texas-Dallas later to be successfully flown
on NASA vehicles. As a result of that work he was
recruited by the prestigious National Academy of
Sciences in Washington DC where he directed
consultative studies for the NAS-NAE-IOM and the
National Research Council. The quality of these
studies attracted attention at The White House
and led to the first of two postings there and began his
period of public service that included a diplomatic
assignment in Europe dealing with international health
and arms control. Before leaving government and
establishing his own company, he acted as director of
energy trade policy in the Office of the U.S. Trade
Representative (USTR) and as science advisor in Oceans,
Environment and Science (OES), Department of State.
And, yes, Bill is very much involved in his
community and church, providing direction for the
renovation and expansion of a state-of-the-art library
and design of a new wing with advanced exhibits soon be
added to the Frontier Times Museum located in
Bandera, Texas. Currently he is providing leadership for
a church endowment at St. Christopher's parish in Bandera as well
as a library endowment through the 501(c)(3) Friends of
the Kronkowsky Library of Bandera County, TX. Bill holds
undergraduate and advanced degrees in electrical engineering and, at
the young age of 34, was listed in American Men &
Women of Science and in MARQUIS Who's Who in
Engineering and Science.
Dee Bartley, Bill's wife and an
associate in the Group, began her career with the
Department of Defense -- first with an Air Force command
assignment in the Middle East and later at the Naval
Intelligence offices in Dallas, Texas. From there, Dee
became assistant to the president of the University of
Texas-Dallas. During her work in academe, she did book
manuscript writing in the scientific field. Following a
move to Washington, DC, Dee worked on Capitol Hill at the
U.S. Senate where she served as appointments assistant to
several senior Senators. Later, she had assignments in
Geneva, Switzerland, serving as protocol assistant at the
U.S. Mission and special assistant to a number of U.S.
ambassadors. Returning to Washington, Dee accepted an
appointment to the U.S. Senate professional staff and
traveled extensively with the Senate leadership to
countries in both Western and Eastern Europe as well as
to Mexico and South America -- these trips were dedicated
to promoting increased trade with the United States. Upon
return to Texas, Dee served as a trustee and an officer
of the Frontier Times Museum and she continues
her fund-raising leadership in the community, working on
the 501(c)(3) Friends of the Kronkowsky Library of
Bandera County, TX. As a result of her impressive
biographical background she is listed in MARQUIS Who's
Who of American Women. |
Bill and Dee Bartley, who both grew up in small towns in Michigan and Texas respectively, are easy to talk to and offer very fresh and young-thinking ideas for presentation of new products and services. Both travel internationally and have a wide range of contacts overseas, but also follow with keen interest every day what is happening in the U.S. market and are good judges of trends. Bill's background -- that even includes official visits to high-energy physics accelerators in Russia and China and lecturing on cosmic-ray physics at CHUNGDU UNIVERSITY OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY, Chungdu (Mainland China) -- is rich in content as is his wife's from her postings overseas, with the U.S. Senate and work in academe.
