I invented modern E-Textiles in 1985. It took until 1993 for me to create the first machine process to implant textiles with fiber optics. We produced apparel pieces sold in stores and theme parks around the globe. I designed costumes worn by Britney Spears, Robin Williams, Isaac Hayes, Missy Elliot, along with several other celebrities, Disney parade costumes, and Parade floats, Casino environments, backdrops for Microsoft, MAX360, The Discovery Store, Disneyworld Signs, and many special effects props including a lighted gearshift in the Fast & Furious movies. I sold the first fiber optic coat I made by hand to Phil Knight from NIKE for $5000 before the turn of the century. After creating machines to implant fibers, cartoon coats were bought by Shaq, Jerry Seinfeld, and many other celebrities. We created couture and fashions for the late Alexander McQueen. Since 1998, companies around the world have sold billions of dollars worth of products containing earlier versions of my LED and fiber optic technologies in Christmas and holiday decorations, halloween costumes, football caps, banners, plush toys, D&G purses, Point of Purchase displays, OPEN signs, automobile applications, and many other products sold in Michael's, Claires, Disney Parks, Walmarts, and other retail chains. Several versions of my fiber optic technologies have been seen in Las Vegas productions, cruise ship environments, and in several Olympic presentations. The last section shows the CNC machinery that produced and attached the optics portions to textiles.

In 1995 my team designed a stadium sized fiber optic video screen for the olympics that would withstand galloping horses, allow sun to penetrate, install in less that 4 hours and break down in 2 hours PLUS have the ability after the opening ceremonies to separate into smaller screens to hang on buildings for advertising. We used Smooth-On-Rubber from Easton, PA for the impact coatings (They served Hollywood for special effect surfaces and became the Flex tape product manufacturer of today).
I also created special effects for the 2002 Winter Olympics opening ceremonies and consulted with SPECTAC out of Australia for the Beijing Olympics ceremonies.
From 1995 through 2005, we created special effects for Disney park dark rides (Buzz Light Year in Hong Kong and Japan) and presentations including the night time parades; "The Electric Light Parade & Spectro Magic PLUS the FANTASMIC nighttime production, Disney Cruise Ship, and casino cruise ship environments. We also created special effects for Las Vegas MGM and Riviera casino stage productions using fiber optics and LEDs.
I created several interior special effect environments for OTB facilities, night clubs, and private homes including one that Albert Einstein learned how to play the violin in New Jersey.
