Our Team

Mark Buff started his career at a global telecom company where he developed a passion for computer engineering and went on to complete his master’s degree at North Carolina State University. During his studies, Mark was inspired by a course in radio frequency design to pursue his doctorate in and create his first Raleigh, North Carolina-based company, Greenwave Scientific. Greenwave Scientific was a bootstrapped entity that researched and developed covert antennas for military ground vehicles and is now parent company to Mohu, a leading HDTV antenna provider.

The research Mark conducted at this company focused on detecting, neutralizing and defeating IEDs to protect the HMMWVs and MRAPs from being targeted. This was part of an important initiative to protect men & women in combat. While at Greenware Scientific, Mark recognized a major opportunity on the consumer side of the antenna industry and transformed the military technology into Mohu’s first TV antenna – the Mohu Leaf. Much like the antennas Mark designed to fit on the mudflaps of US Military ground vehicles, the Leaf is a paper-thin, indoor HDTV antenna that gathers over-the-air broadcast TV signals and delivers them to your TV. The Leaf soon became the highest-rated and best-selling HDTV antenna that it is today.

Mark received his Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from NCSU in 2006, his MS in Computer Engineering in 2004 and his BS in Electrical Engineering in 1994.
