Vincent earned a High School diploma, Bachelor of Science, and Master of Business Administration Degrees, which were difficult, to say at the least, on his teachers, each of whom thought that he would never make it to the next successive grade…
He designed computer systems for city, county, state, and Federal governments.
He has started multiple corporations, five of which fizzled.
Vincent founded the world’s first computer manufacturing company within a public school system – first year sales were $1,200,000.
Vincent easily won an elected public government position – by running unopposed.
He holds the record for running the most times, and receiving the fewest number of votes, in an public electric utility (s)election – he lost four times.
In the 1980’s he was responsible for building banking automation systems including press 1, press2, etc… the systems that we all despise.
Since 2011, he has been the host of USA Prepares, radio’s largest and longest running preparedness broadcast classroom, where Genesis Communications Network doesn’t seem to mind his antics, as compared to the seven other radio operations that did, and summarily fired him.
Vincent’s newest adventure is Five Minute University, the university that teaches in five minutes or less what other universities don’t teach at all. They are useful things, important things, things that Vincent tried unsuccessfully to encourage public schools to teach.
FiveMinuteUniversity is fully accredited, by itself.
The principal text book contains thousands of lessons, on almost every conceivable Do-It-Yourself subject: Buying a farm, plumbing, heating, wiring, saving money, surviving an audit, lowering your taxes, starting a business, buying a car, changing your oil, starting a garden, building a solar system, how to buy gold and silver, where to live, and how to complain.
In the 1960’s Vincent won first prize in every science fair he competed in: Talk on a light beam, a Vacuum Powered Analog Lie Detector, and a Vacuum Tube Proximity Detector that sensed an approaching person’s mass and switched on a warning light.
He was recognized as a technology leader by the the Commonwealth of Virginia’s House of Delegates, a US Congressman, and the NBC Today Show.
He has given presentations to a US Senator, a US Congressman, and a US President, and could have accomplished more on those days, had he overslept.
