 A Silicon Valley icon and philanthropist for the past three
 decades, Steve Wozniak, Founder, Chairman and CEO of Wheels
 of Zeus (wOz), helped shape the computing industry with his
 design of Apple's first line of products the Apple I and II
 and influenced the popular Macintosh. For his achievements at
 Apple Computer, Steve was awarded the National Medal of
 Technology by the President of the United States in 1985, the
 highest honor bestowed America's leading innovators.

 In 2000 Steve was inducted into the Inventors Hall of Fame
 and was awarded the prestigious Heinz Award for Technology,
 The Economy and Employment for "single-handedly designing the
 first personal computer and for then redirecting his lifelong
 passion for mathematics and electronics toward lighting the
 fires of excitement for education in grade school students
 and their teachers."

 Making significant investments of both his time and resources
 in  education, Wozniak "adopted" the Los Gatos School District,
 providing students and teachers with hands-on teaching and
 donations of state-of-the-art technology equipment. Wozniak
 founded the Electronic Frontier Foundation, and was the founding
 sponsor of the Tech Museum, Silicon Valley Ballet and Children's
 Discovery Museum of San Jose.

 Steve is currently a member of the board of directors for
 Jacent, a developer of cost-effective telephony solutions, and
 Danger, Inc., developer of a end-to-end wireless Internet platform.
