McCune traveled extensively in Iraq and Afghanistan to complete testing and development of IWT’s flagship product, the Voice Response Translator (VRT). [4] [5]

In 2008, Inc Magazine named IWT the 200th Fastest Growing Company in the US. [6]

In 2010, McCune was named as sole inventor in a patent related to IWT’s work for DARPA, US Patent 7,707,035. [7]

DARPA subsequently awarded IWT with a contract for the purchase of 2,000 licenses for the digital version of the highly successful VRT application for Android systems. [8]

In 2014, McCune was named president of Linear Integrated Systems, Inc., after the death of company founder John H. Hall. He is a member of the board of directors of Linear Integrated Systems and remains on the board of IWT. [9]

McCune published in December, 2017 a novel based on his travels to Afghanistan and Russia entitled, “Last Call in Kabul.” The book peaked at No.1 on Kindle in the Russian Fiction subcategory and No. 8 in the War Fiction subcategory. [10]
