EnChroma CEO and leadership

I am passionate about making and designing amazing things and experiences. I am a generalist maker working in both academic/conceptual and applied/tangible product domains. Stuff that makes me excited are doing things better, faster, cheaper, bigger, more amazing, operations, projects, people, patentability, finding the unseen angle on a problem, experience, perception, cognition, design, integration, diversity, amazingness, agility, dexterity, fluidity, insight, history, translation, rotation, extension, grammar, transmission, food.

Don, a Doctor of Glass Science, was responsible for the original “ah-ha” moment that led to the formation of EnChroma. His new invention—laser safety glasses for surgeons—had a coincidental positive effect on the vision of people with color blindness. This discovery was the basis for an SBIR grant from the US Small Business Administration, which launched the research critical to the formation of EnChroma. In addition to his contributions to EnChroma, Don has served as President of Bay Glass Research, Inc., Vice President of Research and Development at Vetrazzo, Inc., and Founder & CEO Counter Production, LLC. Don is the recipient of 5 NEI, NIH, and National Cancer Institute grants and has authored 6 patents and 14 scientific papers.
