"Quartzman": The Autobiography of Roger Wilson Ward

by Roger Ward

Roger was a student of Dr. Virgil E. Bottom in the Physics Department at McMurry College in Abilene, TX. Several of the top experts in the field of quartz crystals for electronic applications studied under Dr. Bottom. Roger’s career in quartz crystal technology ranged from Hewlett Packard Laboratories to Motorola’s pocket pager group and finally to Quartzdyne, Inc. where he helped develop Quartzdyne’s industry-leading pressure sensor for downhole oil and gas wells. Roger owes his success in life to opportunities and lessons learned from numerous contacts—a men’s wear clerk, professors, and co-workers. This is the long-awaited (at least by his family and close friends) story of his life and career.
