Myron Stolaroff

For the next fifteen years he worked for the recording equipment manufacturer Ampex, first as a senior design engineer, later as Director of Instrumentation Marketing, ultimately becoming responsible for long-range planning as Assistant to the President.

[4] Stolaroff was interested in personal transformation through psychedelics, and in the Spring of 1956 went to Vancouver to meet with early LSD proponent Alfred Mathew Hubbard.

[5] After quitting from Ampex in 1961, Stolaroff established the International Foundation for Advanced Study in Menlo Park, a non-profit medical research organization.

During this time, he was the executive administrator for a group conducting clinical studies with LSD and mescaline; the IFAS administered psychedelics to about 350 participants.

Stolaroff also worked as a Consulting Engineer and as a General Manager of Multi-Media Productions, a manufacturer of social studies and sound filmstrips for public schools.
