Bob O'Rear
Robert "Bob" O'Rear is a former employee of Microsoft, and is among the group of eleven early Microsoft employees who posed for an iconic company photo taken in Albuquerque in 1978. A Texan, he has degrees in mathematics and physics. He left Microsoft in 1993, and reportedly owns a cattle ranch in Texas. His net worth is reported to be about $100 million.
==Early life==
O'Rear, born in Wellington, Texas, was brought up in Perryton, a rural town of 3,500 people in the Texas Panhandle by his grandparents, who were sharecroppers on a cotton farm. O'Rear planned to be a physical education teacher, but later ended up graduating from the University of Texas at El Paso with a bachelor's degree in mathematics.〔()〕 He went on to graduate school to study maths and astrophysics.
In 1966, TRW in Redondo Beach hired O'Rear to work on Air Force spy satellite programs that determined which photographs were taken and how. He also wrote programs that optimized the trajectory of Minutemen missiles during the Cold War. Later on, in the 1960s, he went to work for NASA. He helped write a program that determined the trajectory of the Apollo Command Module as it reentered the Earth's atmosphere, and was in the NASA Command Center when Neil Armstrong landed on the Moon.
Later in the 1970s, O'Rear and his friend from his TRW days found a company called Texametrics that made automated machinery for the manufacturing extrusion business for polyurethane bottle caps. O'Rear worked on a program which analyzed the patterns of correctly manufactured caps and caused the incorrectly manufactured parts to be ejected. During this time, O'Rear worked with both hardware and software that helped him later when he joined Microsoft.
