In 1993, Todd Marsh, CEO of DTI Energy Inc. met with researchers at California Institute of Technology and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. The meeting was initiated by a local congressman who was investigating ways to help laid off aerospace employees. Mr. Marsh realized the potential for the fuel cell technologies being developed as a collaboration between The Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) and the University of Southern California (USC) and obtained an exclusive worldwide license.
