He obtained a BS in Electrical Engineering for SUNY (State University of New York) at Stony Brook in 1999 and a MS in Electrical Engineering from Polytechnic University, Brooklyn, NY in 2002. During his enrollment at Polytechnic University, and shortly after graduation, he obtained a Graduate Certificate in Wireless Communication and also worked as a Teaching Assistant and Adjunct Lecturer for three courses – Electronics I / II and Wireless Communications Lab.  From 1997 to 2000 Heine was employed with the Technology Group of Citibank Private Bank in Long Island City, NY first as an INROADS Intern and later as a Technology Management Associate.

Heine is currently a Signal (Telecommunicaitons) officer in the US Army, stationed at Fort Stewart, GA and assigned to the 385^th Military Police Battalion as the battalion Signal Officer (S6).  He previously served in Korea from June 2005 to July 2008 holding several positions with the 304^th Signal Battalion; Platoon Leader, Battalion Radio Officer, Battle Captain, and Operations Officer.  His military education includes Signal Officer Basic Course (SOBC), Signal Captains Career Course (SCCC), Network Nodal Management Course, and S6 Course. He resigns his commission next summer to focus on PrivyMobile Inc.

To reach clients worldwide, PrivyMobile must ensure that the service is affordable to users worldwide.  Downloads will be free and the service affordable.  All users will be required to pay $1 account maintance fee annually.  Basic service is free and entitles customers to 10 free incoming and outgoing calls.  For unlimited calls, customers may sign up for $4.95/yr premium membership.

We will continue to grow and expand the services our customers benefit from.  We will expand our services to include sms, mms, email and webcam services at no additional charge.

To serve clients who have contacts abroad, in the future, we hope to provide an international calls service (prepaid) that will allow customers to call their contacts abroad at competitive rates.

Our affordable rates, coupled with our sound marketing strategy (focusing on internet marketing) will ensure a high conversion rate and steady growth.

• Initial product can evolve into range of offeringsover the next few years

• Market segments all poised for rapid growth- in the US and abroad, mobile app use, smartphone use are all on the rise.

• Social Networking potential:  There is a huge opportunity to link the app with social networking sites, and since social networking is on the rise, our opportunities for growth are enhanced.

• PrivyMobile Inc is the first of its kind.  The fact that Google Talk, Skype, etc etc all require a destination phone number (even if they can mask the callers number) to call makes our offering unique. It also makes PrivyMobile more attractive with chances for an easy exit if need be.
