Episodes of "Power, a Memoir" are at: https://power-memoir.com [8]. The story covers 0ver 30 years in the cardiac device industry in America, Asia-Pacific & Europe. Beginning in the mid-70s in New York, I moved from a taxi driver to a Shiley heart valve sales rep to a valve manufacturer in Asia; I called on the surgical, business, and government powerbrokers as heart surgery in the region grew exponentially. Based in Sydney, Tokyo, Hong Kong, Brussels, Hawaii, and finally, Singapore for 15 years, I enjoyed a spellbinding life that lead to the launch in 1993 of the Asian Cardiovascular and Thoracic Annals, Asia's first indexed, cardiovascular-focused Scientific journal. A legacy I'm proud to own.
