Inventor, Industrialist. He turned the aerosol can into a household fixture. At the age of 27, while working as a machine shop operator, he perfected an inexpensive and reliable valve that could be mass-produced to spray perfume, insecticides and whipped cream. As an industrialist, he was an ally and confidant of President Richard M. Nixon. He lent Nixon the money to buy property in San Clemente, California for the "Second White House," and served as a trustee for the Nixon Library.
