Eric Knight is a futurist, inventor, entrepreneur, and business pioneer.  He is the president of Remarkable Technologies, Inc.

In 1985 — 23 years ago — Eric Knight created what many now recognize as one of the world’s first global "e-commerce" systems. It was a dial-up computer system that grew to nearly 10,000 subscribers from over 70 countries, and accepted online credit-card orders over a decade before the practice of e-commerce became widespread.

In 1994, Eric founded Remarkable Technologies, Inc. Over the years, Eric's company has focused on providing innovative products and services that enhance business and empower people.

In 1996, Eric's "Para-Shirt" invention was featured as one of the top inventions in America by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and the Intellectual Property Owners Association.  As an inventor, Eric has been on numerous television programs and networks (such as CNN, The Discovery Channel, and the BBC) as we'll as a variety of talk shows, including a guest appearance on the Late Show with David Letterman.

While managing Remarkable Technologies, Inc., Eric was also the Vice President and Director of Marketing at Outrider — an international interactive agency with over 250 employees, spanning 18 offices in 13 countries.

Prior to Outrider, Eric had a wide-ranging thirteen-year career as a Vice President, an Associate Creative Director, and a
Senior Copywriter at Connecticut's largest advertising agency, Mintz & Hoke Inc.

In 2003, Eric conceived of the business and brand "UP Aerospace", and brought it to life via the resources of Remarkable Technologies, Inc.  The business became a free-standing entity "UP Aerospace, Inc." in October 2004, and provides the general public, private enterprise, and educational institutions with round-trip space flights for virtually any kind of payload. On April 28, 2007, UP Aerospace flew into space 50 student experiments from around the U.S. and world, as well as numerous commercial and scientific payloads. On this same flight, UP Aerospace (under a launch-services contract with Celestis) flew into space the cremated remains of Star Trek’s "Scotty" James Doohan and NASA astronaut and pioneer L. Gordon Cooper. This historic space launch achieved global media coverage, as it was broadcast on CNN and live to over 260 million viewers on the BBC. Even though Eric is involved in many entrepreneurial ventures, he continues as an owner / lead stockholder of UP Aerospace, Inc., and is a pioneering voice of the "new space" aerospace industry worldwide.  Click here to watch a 2007 interview with Eric Knight on SpaceChannel.TV.
