Episode 197: Craig Higginson

A conversation with Craig Higginson, General Manager of Q Microwave in San Diego, CA. Q Microwave, founded by Craig and his business partner in 1998, is one of the newest acquisitions to join Amphenol just a few months ago. We talk about designing and manufacturing microwave and RF filter products for use in the wireless and military industries. We talk about old-school filter needs from the early cell phone era and some current real-world applications for what their filter connectors can do. We talk about growing up in the Bay Area in California, getting into computers from his father and brothers, and meeting some of the most famous legends of the early days of Silicon Valley. We talk about the days before being acquired by Amphenol where he would live on the edge and use his house as collateral to make huge investments in his business. And we discuss his desert island album, book, and movie. This is The Interface.
