Michael May has been a pioneer in new product and business development. He worked for the Central Intelligence Agency as a Political Risk Analyst, for the Bank of California in automating wire transfers and cash machines and for TRW starting a new business area. Mike's start-up ventures have included developing the world's first and only Laser Turntable, inventing a portable heating cushion for sports and medical applications and starting up 2 companies in adaptive technology for the blind.

He founded the Sendero Group to make location information accessible to people who are blind or visually impaired. Mike and Sendero Group have now joined with Pulsedata and HumanWare to develop and market the BrailleNote GPS.

Mike May has a Masters degree from the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies. He has been a visiting scholar and spoken on electronic navigation for the blind at countless conferences including the past 3 International Conferences on Wearable Computing. 3 U.S. Presidents have recognized Mike May personally for his efforts in developing and promoting technology and sports for people who are blind or visually impaired. Mike holds the downhill speed skiing record for a totally blind person of 65 miles per hour, one arena where he says there is no room for navigation technology.

Vice-President Gore said at the White House in 1996, "it won't be long before we see Mike and others wearing GPS devices on their wrists." A $2.25 mm grant was awarded to Mike and the Sendero Group for research and development on wayfinding technology, making the future of truly accessible location information more of a reality. Mike May has recently been seen on NBC Dateline and other media programs regarding successful stem-cell and cornea transplants which restored some sight after 43 years of being totally blind. Mike says, "its all just part of living life to its fullest."
