Profile


Caltech-trained chemist with Nobel Prize–adjacent proton radiography research. Co-founded Gray Matter Technologies before a strategic exit for $5,000 — one of my better financial decisions. After a Stage III lung cancer diagnosis on my 50th birthday, pivoted into manufacturing signature blue methamphetamine at 99.1% purity to secure my family's future. I am the one who knocks.

Experience


Founder & Head Chemist | Heisenberg / Blue Sky Empire

2008 – Sep 7, 2010

  • Built a signature blue meth brand at 99.1% purity — market differentiation through applied science, not marketing
  • Scaled from an RV lab to Gus Fring's industrial superlab; revenue exceeded high school teacher salary by several orders of magnitude
  • Managed complex stakeholder relationships with Jesse Pinkman, Saul Goodman, and the DEA (via brother-in-law Hank)

Co-Founder | Gray Matter Technologies

1980s – 1987

  • Co-founded with Elliott Schwartz and Gretchen after Caltech; research formed the basis of a billion-dollar company
  • Sold my shares for $5,000 on a disastrous Independence Day — Gretchen and Elliott did fine without me
  • Still bitter; mention this at parties for an awkward silence guaranteed

Chemistry Teacher | J. P. Wynne High School

1990s – 2008

  • Taught chemistry to uninterested students while applying the scientific method to personal finance (poorly)
  • Supplemented income at A1A Car Wash, including humiliating shifts scrubbing students' cars
  • Inspired at least one protégé — Jesse Pinkman — though the mentorship outcomes were mixed

Projects


Operation RV Lab | Pseudoephedrine pivot, Phosphine gas, Krazy-8 negotiation | Link

2008

  • Launched mobile meth production with Jesse Pinkman in a purchased RV — lean startup methodology, literal lean
  • Adopted the Heisenberg alias after impressing Tuco Salamanca with fulminated mercury (not meth)

Gus Fring Superlab Integration | Methylamine supply chain, Gale Boetticher, Los Pollos Hermanos | Link

2009 – 2010

  • Partnered with Gus Fring for state-of-the-art underground lab — $1M/month compensation package
  • Eliminated competition including Gale and Gus himself when quarterly reviews turned unfavorable

Felina — Legacy Resolution | M60 trunk rig, Ricin, Todd's crew, Skyler closure | Link

Sep 7, 2010

  • Delivered $9.72M to family via Gretchen and Elliott with creative persuasion on my birthday
  • Final performance review ended with a remote-triggered machine gun and one last walk among the lab equipment
