Founded Spectron Development Laboratories, Inc., a successful small business located in Costa Mesa, California. Spectron won many SBIR awards, which helped the company grow to 100 employees. Under Busch's leadership, Spectron became an attractive company for a large business to acquire and thus was sold to Titan Corporation. Busch continued to run Spectron for 5 years, and as president, guided the company to new heights in spite of no longer being eligible for SBIR. In addition to being an SBIR award winner, Dr. Busch has also served on SBIR agency advisory committees, as well as giving testimony to Congress on several occasions, during which he was a strong proponent for the development of the SBA's Federal State Technology Partnership Program (FAST). Dr. Busch was a pioneer for SBIR rural outreach programs and has assisted countless small businesses in procuring SBIR awards.less
