David Vernier





Historical Background
Quoting from http://www.vernier.com/about/:


 * Vernier co-founder, David Vernier, had been a high school physics and physical sciences teacher for eight years when he began programming his first Precision Timer software application. David's creativity and his passion for science education, combined with his wife Christine's business acumen, were the driving forces behind the early years of Vernier Software & Technology. Since those days, Dave and Christine – and now nearly 100 employees at Vernier Software & Technology – have been creating world-class data-collection solutions for teachers. Today, we offer a full line of award-winning interfaces, sensors, software, and curriculum that help engage and excite students through hands-on scientific exploration.


 * More than 25 years have passed since Dave programmed that first product, and educators in over 120 countries now depend on our solutions. The dedication of today's science teachers continues to inspire us, and drives every facet of our product development. It motivates us to give back to the community with an ongoing philanthropic program, and has driven our consistent growth every year. And, it has enabled us to create a company that has been named "One of Oregon's Best Places to Work" for the last seven years.
