His remarkable career spans both public service and private enterprise, leaving an indelible mark on our city's technological landscape.
Born and raised in Texas, he graduated high school at age 15, received his BA from UT Austin at 19, and then joined the US Navy.
The Admiral served with distinction in the U.S. Navy and the intelligence community, holding key positions such as Director of the National Security Agency and Deputy Director of the Central Intelligence Agency.
The selection of Austin for the Microelectronics and Computer Technology Corporation (MCC) in 1982, led by Admiral Inman, was a huge boost to the future of our local tech community. This consortium of major computer and semiconductor manufacturers could have been headquartered anywhere, and we are grateful it brought Admiral Inman back to Austin.
His leadership and vision have been instrumental in positioning Austin as a premier hub for technology and entrepreneurship. Admiral Inman's commitment to education, through his involvement with the University of Texas at Austin, has further enriched our community.
