Art served four years in the U.S. Marines working in electronic-countermeasures and was honorably discharged as a sergeant in December 1986. Art immediately enrolled in college and began working as a technician at SC Technology, Inc., at that time a year-old start-up building optical test equipment. SC Technology introduced Art to Silicon Valley, and Art’s work there both encouraged and funded his undergraduate education. Art graduated from U.C.
