Management Team / Advisory Board Bios
Jason Giddings
Founder/CEO/Director/Chairman of the Board
Jason Giddings is Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Giddings Product Development, Inteliscope LLC. An aerospace engineer and a lifelong entrepreneur and inventor, Jason observed that many smaller custom product-based businesses could not afford to build up their own product development teams capable of professional-level industrial design. As a result, he founded Giddings Product Development in 2005. In 2007, services were expanded to include production tooling and manufacturing. In 2010, capabilities were further increased by the addition of printed circuit board design as well as software and firmware development. In 2013, he formed Inteliscope LLC, in an endeavor to create and manufacture a smartphone mount that turns your iPhone or Android into a low cost thermal scope for rifles and archery. Jason has several patents and has designed hundreds of products that are currently being sold in every corner of the world.

Secretary and legal - Business Development
Doug started with a small firm in Sandpoint, Idaho that had large national clients, so he gained valuable experience early in his career in a wider range of business contexts. He did a great deal of corporate bankruptcy work, both debtor and creditor, civil litigation, corporate formation and governance, and commercial leasing for clients both large and small (mostly on the tenant side).In the later part of his career, he has attracted a large number of clients in the technology start-up field all over the nation, where his broad range of experience greatly benefits new companies. He has focused most recently on the new European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which imposes significant restrictions on his clients who have customers, patients, and employees in Europe.
