He obtained an MBA from the University of Hartford in 1974. In 1978 he started with Ethan Allen furniture as a district manager for upstate New York and Canada. He was there until he decided to go to law school. He graduated number two in the class from Vermont Law School in 1984 and moved to Portsmouth, New Hampshire to open a law practice. He practiced law in New Hampshire and Maine until 2006. During the time of his law practice he developed a jazz camp for adults which ran for thirty-five years. Participants came from all over the world. Along the way Byron became a flight instructor, CFII and a large part of his life has been flying for enjoyment. In 2017 Byron moved to Boston for medical reasons to be closer to the site of his clinical trial. That's when he started driving for Uber. Two months after the Uber beginning, the idea for a book percolated when he seemed to meet collaterally related people. In one two-day period he met four venture capitalists that invest only in biotech companies. One venture capitalist had invested in a biotech company developing a DNA strand to inject into the ears of genetically deaf people. A month later he ran into a researcher worked on drugs for deaf people. She knew the company working on a DNA strand, Akkuos. It was after these meetings that he decided to write a book.view less
