Delete. WP:BLP of an inventor and businessman, which is (a) written more like a prosified résumé than an encyclopedia article, and (b) minimally sourced to one primary source directory of patent applications and two glancing namechecks of his existence in articles which aren't about him. As always, businessmen and inventors are not automatically entitled to Wikipedia articles just because they can be nominally verified as existing -- he'd be eligible for one if he could be properly sourced over WP:GNG, but none of the sourcing here is helping him get there.

 * Delete - I did get 6 hits for him on Scholar, but all were mentions of the patent. Absolutely zero on News and Books, etc. Fails WP:GNG.  Onel 5969  TT me 16:27, 13 March 2017 (UTC)
