History

Al Nuttall earned his B.S.E. (1967) and M.S.E. (1970), in Chemical Engineering from the University of Michigan. He served in the U.S. Army at its Chemical Center, Edgewood Arsenal, MD, and then launched his career as a development engineer for Eli Lilly & Co. in Indianapolis. In his next role, he managed manufacturing, engineering, quality control, and support groups for three plant sites of PCR, Inc., producing silanes, organofluorine compounds, and other fine organics and pharmaceuticals. In 1984, he moved to Palm Bay to help found FAR Research, Inc., a profitable fine organic chemical manufacturing firm. From 1992-2015, he served in several roles culminating as the President/CEO of FAR and orchestrated an acquisition, bridged the ownership change, and, ultimately, oversaw the divestiture of the firm. Since retiring, Al has become involved in Florida Tech.  He and his wife have provided for an endowed scholarship fund, he has been a speaker on campus, and has coached students in interviewing to better prepare them for launching their careers.
