The work

What we are celebrating, specifically.

  • Designed the efficient switching power supply that ran cool enough to let the Apple II use a lightweight, fanless plastic case.
  • Held four patents for his early Apple engineering and was named by Wozniak as one of the five key people of Apple's first years.

Why we celebrate them.

You solved the invisible problem that made the Apple II possible, and asked for no spotlight. Thank you, Rod, for the engineering underneath it all.
