This is my first article for Wikipedia, although I have more than three decades experience in journalism. My question to the community is this: Much of my article stems from interviews with the subject. I have verified all claims about inventions, business incorporations, etc., and will be adding cites to published magazines, newspapers as well as a broadcast clip of an interview at Comdex. I have not checked public records in California regarding his very early life, however. Is that needed to submit the article?
