Dr. Gluck began his career as a Computer Systems Engineer with Exxon Corporation, where is developed the first intra-company computer network in the world.

In 2019 Dr. Gluck launched, and currently serves as CEO and Chief Technology Officer of Human Engineering Technologies, LLC, a company developing technologies that improve the safety of manual work. Manual work results in pain and injuries to nearly 2 million of the 108 million U.S. manual workers’ backs, legs, shoulders, wrists, hands and fingers each year. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, manual workers represent over 80% of the total U.S. workforce, working in 30 different sectors of the U.S. economy. Musculoskeletal diseases account for more than 50% of disabling health conditions reported by U.S. adults. In 2019, the economic cost of injury was $4.2 trillion, including $327 billion in medical care, $69 billion in work loss, and $3.8 trillion in value of statistical life and quality of life losses.

Human Engineering Technologies, LLC is currently focused on the hospitality industry because its 300,000 employees work in especially challenging working conditions, especially for housekeepers who have a higher injury rate than construction workers, miners, and firemen. The company’s first product, the revolutionary patented SafeTuck™ Bed Platform, was scientifically proven to reduce pain and injuries to hotel housekeepers by 85%. Several other ergonomic products addressing the hospitality industry are currently under development.

Dr. Gluck is a prolific inventor who holds 25 patents for several technologies in ergonomics, digital imaging, mapping, and consumer products. Products based on his patents have generated over $6 billion in revenues to his licensees. Gluck is the author of the semi- autobiographical book “Business Warrior”, available on Amazon Books.
