Tim Ventura, "The Linus Torvalds of Antigravity" started doing independent research into Antigravity in 1992, but didn't begin sharing his work with the public until 2002, when he realized the need for an open-source, collaborative effort to allow scientists, engineers, and inventors to share research and scientific data online.

Ventura created the American Antigravity website in March, 2002 to popularize Breakthrough Propulsion Technology and Antigravity research. The website serves a dual role in facilitating communications and networking between scientists, engineers, and inventors, as well as in educating the public about emerging technologies and theories related to ongoing scientific research in this area.

The American Antigravity website has evolved since its inception into the most comprehensive resource of its kind online, containing hundreds of pages of experimental-data, articles, and interviews with scientists, inventors, and engineers,

His work includes collaborative research and news coverage on celebrated figures such as Nick Cook, James Cox, Eugene Podkletnov, John Searle, and others -- as well as breaking news on work coming from other innovators in the community, and rich-media content on historically significant research dating back in some cases nearly 100 years.

Tim Ventura's American Antigravity website serves an audience of several million visitors per year, and has been featured around the globe on a multitude of television networks, such as Nippon TV and the BBC, as well as extensively covered in print by sources as diverse as Wired Magazine and Jane's Defense Weekly.

Prior Achievements: Tim Ventura’s leadership in the emerging science of Antigravity and breakthrough propulsion technology is the result of nearly a decade of prior career experience managing techno-centric projects and teams involved with the development and deployment of new technologies in the IT & Telecom industries.

At AT&T's Fixed Wireless Project, he managed a 400 person provisioning staff stationed at two remote locations in Florida and California. During his tenure in that department AT&T added over 100,000 new customers to the AT&T Fixed Wireless platform using Local Number Portability as established in the 1996 Telecommunications Act.

A later transition within AT&T placed him in the management role for AT&T's Provisioning and E-commerce System. This included responsibility for over $10 million dollars of AT&T Information System assets (systems, software, and associated contracts), as well as departmental responsibility for facilitating development and deployment of E-Commerce related software through the leadership of multiple virtual and cross-functional teams.

Ventura’s leadership experience also includes the successful management experience for the Deployment of mission-critical 911-geolocation services at Telecommunication Systems, Inc. This consisted of both the management for a software development & integration team writing telecommunications software for Police, Fire, and EMT call-centers, as well as the responsibility for ensuring the integration of new network nodes into a legally-mandated 911 geolocation service.

His prior experience includes team-building and systems management experience from Verisign’s Illuminet division in the Olympia area, where he participated in the nationwide rollout of Phase I Local Number Portability, and facilitated troubleshooting for mission-critical LNP ports over a million-number ramp-up in 1998 – 2000.

Ventura’s philosophy is based on the concept of bridging the gap between machines and people – to this end, much of his work has involved educating people on the finer details of emerging technologies, first in the telecommunications sector, and later through his continuing role at American Antigravity. His goal is to foster the transportation breakthroughs that the 21st century requires by building a collaborative team of expertise to solve the challenges of building commercially practical Antigravity devices.
