In 1970, they moved to Sanders Associates as an Engineering Department Manager of Telecom Hardware, where they directed the development of microwave hardware for the U.S. Navy and obtained a new contract with them. In 1971, they moved to Raytheon Data Systems as a Project Engineer and engineered an advanced 1800 channel FDMFM system that MCI favored for its second long haul system. In 1974, they moved to Rockwell International as a Project Engineer in the development of hardware for microwave radio and lightwave telecommunication systems. CHARLIE was named 1987 Engineer of the Year and obtained nine patents and published numerous technical articles in IEEE journals. CHARLIE gained international recognition for the invention of a widely used clock recovery circuit known in the literature as the "Hogge Detector." In 1991, they moved to Alcatel USA as a Project Engineer, where they worked on Lightwave Telecom hardware development following the purchase of the division from Rockwell International and obtained one patent. In 1998, they moved to Alcatel USA as a Principal Engineer. In 2007, they became self-employed as a Mediator/Ombudsman at Creative Dispute Mediation, where they mediated 15 Pro Bono Civil Disputes.
