Mr. Pihl has served as Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President of MathStar since he founded it in 1997. Mr. Pihl is an electrical engineer and has over 42 years' experience in the computer industry, with extensive responsibilities in design, product planning and management.

Mr. Pihl went on to found NetStar, Inc., where he created the world's first multigigabit switched IP router for distributed computing environments.
