 * Delete. For the future, normally, completely unsourced BLPs such as this page are speedily deleted.  Quick searches online reveal ZERO news ghits, a few patent notices, and a book from a vanity press.  Inventors are not inherently notable, since many inventions are not notable, either. Please discuss more if you can find anything better as a source or that he invented a better mousetrap. Bearian (talk) 21:42, 13 August 2014 (UTC)
