Daniel Stih, B.S. in Aerospace Engineering
Daniel has a varied background including being a CEO of businesses, consulting, engineering, exploration, writing, and speaking. He began his career as a teenager, when he and his brothers founded Sun Laboratorys in the laundry room of their parent’s home using laboratory equipment donated by Arizona State University.
He has a degree in Aerospace Engineering and worked at Motorola when the company was awarded the Malcolm Baldrige Award for outstanding leadership and management practices.
As a Process Engineer, I have experience with every step of semiconductor manufacturing, including crystal growing, diffusion, vacuum deposition, photolithography, implant, testing and packaging. One of the processes I was responsible for, Boron trichloride (BCl3), is used by the solar panel industry. My favorite tools are Design of Experiment (DOE) and Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA).
Being recognized with a technical award at Motorola.
I was also one of the top computer experts in the company. I programmed software for machines to communicate with each other, designed the company's Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM) system, and programmed front and back ends. Daniel partnered with Los Alamos National Laboratories to run experiments and publish papers.
I am an EMF expert on testing for and measuring EMFs (Electromagnetic Fields) and an investigator into environmental factors that cause people to be sick (or not).
As a building contractor I had so much work that I didn’t know what to do with it until one day I found myself sick and tired. My doctor said it was from the work I was doing. Through my testing, I discovered a lot assumptions regarding what’s healthy can be wrong. Some materials thought to be unhealthy are not bad for you; others, including some promoted as green, cause health and serious air quality problems.
I founded Healthy Living Spaces® to investigate, perform testing, and discover what is (and what is not) bad for health. Based on my research I wrote the best-seller, Healthy Living Spaces: Top 10 Hazards Affecting Your Health. I've been a consultant to the Dyson corporation. As host of the podcast, The Mold Money Podcast, we talk about how to test and remediate mold to get rid of mold without spending thousands of dollars on remediation or chemicals and treatment products that don't work. In partnership with Los Alamos National Laboratory we tested them.
As an iOS Developer, I took an app from the idea stage to a revenue-generating product. Developing an iOS app from start to finish required design (UX/UI), programming (Swift) version control (Github), deployment (App Store approval), business strategy, and setting up in-app purchases (IAPs) .
I may best be known for climbing in Zion National Park, where I've done the first ascents of thirty previously unclimbed mountains, more than any climber in history. There's a book about my climbs.
Under the pydonymmn Daniel Isle Sky, I'm an artist and songwriter, writing songs for major artists as well as releasing five CDs, over 50 songs, on Spotify and Pandora. Member of the Nashville Songwriters Association. I've performed with Donovan.
I'm is the Creator of SongChef®, an app that lets anyone write a song, regardless if they can play an instrument or sing. As a designer, I drew the iconic Song Chef logo.
I feel the today's competitive world is limiting what humanity is capable of by stressing extreme specialization. It's more productive to be well-rounded, a hat I refer to as being a “Renaissance” person. Leonardo da Vinci was a designer, artist, engineer, and scientist. Sky will never be da Vinci or Donovan and doesn’t aspire to. Live to the saying, “Be yourself.”
I've discovered a process that can be used to find and do what’s never been done, and enjoy teaching this process and inspiring people to take action to create positive change. I'm the author of twelve books (all written without using AI) and have been a guest on hundreds of live broadcast radio and television shows.
My most recent project is The Daniel Stih Podcast: Think Solutions, in which we delve in deep with thought provoking guests to uncover solutions for a better world.
