SPACE MICRO INC.'s
Board of Directors
David J. Strobel – CEO and President
 Mr. Strobel adds his expertise in management of complex technologies for space and space market penetration experience. This was gained during his 7 years as President of Space Electronics Inc (SEi) and 18 years at SAIC and Northrop Electronics. He built SEi from a small R&D startup company to over $13M in annual sales with 125 employees before Maxwell Technologies acquired SEi. This resulted in the Inc 500 award for Fastest Growing Companies in America two years in succession. He also won the SBA Tibbetts Award, for SBIR excellence; with a focus on rapidly commercializing technologies initiated under SBIR. At SEi, Strobel led 4 Phase I and 2 Phase II contracts from NASA, Air Force and BMDO. Previously he managed IC production for both space and military markets. As an Air Force officer he managed R&D programs for microelectronics for the MX, SICBM, and Minuteman rad hard missile programs. He holds two US patents for space radiation shielding. Education: M.B.A. Claremont, M.S. Systems Management, University of Southern California; MS Nuclear Engineering, Cornell University, BS Astronautical Engineering, US Air Force Academy.
David R. Czajkowski – Chief Operating Officer
 David Czajkowski has over twenty years of experience in space computer design/architecture, rad hard ASIC design, and space radiation effects mitigation, and has co-founded two rad hard electronics manufacturers. After co-founding Space Micro, Mr. Czajkowski led the development of technologies and products, such as TTMR technology development and Proton100k rad hard space computer product with greater than 1,000 MIPS performance level under support from AFRL, SEFI mitigation of microprocessors with H-Core chip and software under support from NASA, plus the development of the highest performance space computer, the Proton200k, which operates at 4,000 MIPS. Previously after co-founding SEi in 1992, he led the development of several space computer modules (SB486R, Sparc ERC-32, and PowerPC 603E with TMR) leveraging commercial processors, and development of single event latchup protection schemes for sensitive ICs under support from JPL. Additional space industry experiences include co-inventor of RAD-PAK™ radiation shielding packaging technology and team leader for the development of over 150 different monolithic and multi-chip module microelectronic products over the past 8 years, many of which continue to be manufactured and sold by Maxwell Technologies who acquired SEi. Mr. Czajkowski is currently the Chief Operating Officer of Space Micro Inc, a company he co-founded with his partner David Strobel. David Czajkowski received a BSEE from San Diego University in 1986 and an MBA from San Diego University in 1990. He is the holder of 5 US patents, has 7 additional patents pending and has published numerous papers relating to radiation hardened space technologies.

University of Southern California, Electrical Engineering, MBA, University of Southern California, Business Management.
James H. Winso
 Mr. Winso, the Director of Domestic Security Programs for SMI, has over three decades experience developing electronic products and systems for radiation detection, measurement and imaging systems. For 20 years, Mr. Winso served as Division and Program Manager for SAIC’s Radiation Products Group directing a wide range of Radiation Product Development Programs including the Navy’s Multifunction RADIAC System which has delivered over 15,000 Radiation Survey Meters to the Government and the PD Personal Dosimeter Product which has delivered ~ 50,000 units to Nuclear Power Plants, First Responders and the DoD. He was awarded the 2002 SAIC “Achievement in Technology Development” Award as the Program Manager of the VACIS, Vehicle and Cargo Inspection System, a Gamma Imaging System that transformed the paradigm for Border Inspection by cutting the time and cost for Cargo Inspection by a factor of three (3). Prior to SAIC, Mr. Winso was the Director of Engineering for Sorrento Electronics, a subsidiary of General Atomic, where he led a design team that deployed the first Digital Radiation Monitoring Systems in Nuclear Power Plants. Previously as an Electrical Engineer at Westinghouse Corporation, he graduated first (1st) in his class from the Naval Nuclear Power Engineering Program conducted at Idaho Falls, Idaho.
