STEPHEN RIDELLA, Ph.D. is the Director of the Office of Defect Investigation for the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration of the Fed. Yep, he's the seat belt guy, always looking out for consumer safety on the highway. He is also a major thought leader in engineering organizations whose personal commitment to excellence helps form new strategies and policies for the good of all. Stephen and Bill get down to the nitty-gritty about a subject near and dear to both of these men---growing up and being a man of integrity and goodwill. The added gem to all this is that these two guys have known each other their whole lives as first cousins.
