Mr. Galen M. Gareis Attended Purdue University from September 1976 through May 1983, earning a bachelors degree in Electrical Engineering Technology.
After graduation, he has been under the employment of Belden Wire and Cable, Electronics Division in Richmond, IN. He currently holds a position in the product Engineering Department as a Principal Product Engineer. During his time in product engineering, he has been individually and co-awarded numerous patents (see addendum) and has submitted over more than thirty-five patent applications and trade secrets during his tenure in engineering placing him second highest patents awarded to a single individual in Belden’s 100- year history. Patents have been awarded in the area of fiber optic, shielded and unshielded Local Area Network (LAN) premise cables, and audio / sound cables. Several patents have been instrumental in developing Belden’s well-known position as a world leader in computer premise cable products. Advanced product development work covers development of fiber optic, coaxial, twinaxial, and multi-conductor cable.
Mr. Gareis has been an active teaching professional in Belden’s BCWK (Belden College of Wire Knowledge) and professional staff training for the past 27 years teaching and developing a range of subject material including shielding, multi-conductor, coaxial, and fiber optic cable technology.
Outside interest include, PC computer assembly and repair, home projects, motorcycling, hiking, physical fitness, investing, writing and technical / scientific reading and research.
