He was the president and/or CEO of Fidelity Electronics, who made chess
computers that the USCF sold through their magazine and catalog.

That's his contribution, as far as I know.  He ran a company that a lot of
people bought chess computers from.

I'm going to have to find a copy of the magazine, because it sounds like they
credit him for a lot of stuff.
