About Charles Goodspeed

Charlie's professional experience includes a wide range of positions, from basic human factors research, through engineering, project management, marketing/sales, and program management. His experience began in the lighting/human factors arena working for the Federal Highway Administration, where he managed a photometric and visibility laboratory. Charlie then pursued a career with the 3M Company as a vision/human factors research engineer, who transitioned into business development after designing a laser based traffic sign reflectometer. This new device spurred the creation of a transportation asset management service, which Charlie went on to manage for 3M. Charlie then returned to graduate school at the Univ. of NH, where he continued to pursue the asset management service sector through the development of a GIS based software solution. His efforts spun off into a small business effort, developing a rugged tablet computer for GIS data collection. Returning to the lighting industry, Charlie worked for Insight Tech Gear, where he grew an engineering team and managed new product development.
