He was the author of two textbooks on IP Telephony and VoIP regarding his work, which were translated into several languages worldwide. The later part of his career was spent contracting for the United States government, creating technologies used by US agencies to protect US communications and detect foreign communications. The applications of his latest inventions and work are classified. His accomplishments are outstanding as an immigrant from Greece in 1973, who rose to a highest level of security clearance in US government. He was a loving husband, a romantic, and a loving father whose impact goes beyond his immediate family. His mind, innovations, and inventions are used everyday by consumers, citizens, and government, and so his legacy lives on with every global telecommunication emitted. He had so much more to offer.
