I created and ran a small business (Communication Unlimited) which employed up to 22 people and did contract software development for clients with image processing applications. Business ran from 1986 - 1993, and closed while still showing a profit.

Note: BME 495 is a course which combines clinical emergency medicine with instrument design. Many (most) of the lectures are on clinical medicine and are taught by either me or a variety of visiting (state certified) instructors. Therefore, student responses to questions about the instructor may not be appropriate.
