In June 2004, Medical Device
& Diagnostic Industry magazine recognized Ted as
one of its "100 Notable" for his contributions
to the medical device industry. Ted is a licensed Professional
Engineer and inventor whose portfolio of product designs
includes a gold award winner in the 2003 Medical Design
Excellence Awards. For this invention of the SmartSite®
Plus Needle-Free Valve, as well as several other products,
Ted has seventeen U.S. patents issued, and multiple
U.S. and foreign patents pending.
Ted's talents have been apparent throughout
his career when in 1998 he received runner-up for the
Product Design & Developments Engineering Award.
Just prior to founding GILERO, Ted served as the lead
product designer and project manager for new disposable
projects for a medical device manufacturer. Ted has
designed a long list of now commercially available products
including drug access devices, IV components, needle-free
valves, animal vaccinators, tissue forceps, disposable
curettes & speculums, radiation therapy immobilization
devices, and prosthetic knee joints. Ted's experience
and training include the use of advanced engineering
tools such as several 3D modeling CAD packages, finite
element analysis, and mold filling analysis.
Ted's formidable engineering background
is only part of his story. Ted's quest for business
led him to NC State to pursue an MBA with a concentration
in Technology Commercialization. Ted puts this degree
and his BS in Mechanical Engineering to work daily.
Magna Cum Laude then, he leverages his education and
experiences each day as GILERO continues to add new
products to its portfolio of completed projects.
As GILERO's technical lead, Ted provides
the bridge between customer needs and supplier capabilities
to ensure effective transfer from idea to product. In
addition to his leadership position, Ted is GILERO's
lead product designer. One of his many talents includes
understanding the competitive landscape and translating
user needs, intended uses, and product requirements
into a differentiated product. Ted uses these inputs
as a foundation for creating concepts in the form of
solid models, and finalizes his designs by utilizing
a number of tools and prototyping techniques.
Married and a father of three, Ted still
manages to volunteer his time by speaking to local college
students in NC State's Biomedical Engineering Program
and at local medical device receptions. He recently
designed an award for the Contemporary Science Center,
a non-profit organization focused on high school science
education. In addition, Ted offers his time by supporting
the Biomedical Engineering Senior Design Program, and
serving as an advisor to the MBA Alumni Association
at NC State. Ted's hobbies include woodworking and singing.
His passion for music might be the reason he's occasionally
seen checking out the local band scene.
