A native of Bakersfield, McCuen attended Stanford
University on an Eagle Scout scholarship, graduating
at the top of his engineering class. He went on to earn
a master's degree and a Ph.D. at Stanford, taking a
faculty position in 1960.
In 1964, he left to pursue high-tech business interests.
He was most well known for developing Verbatim into
the world's largest manufacturer of flexible discs.
McCuen went to Sacramento in 1980, where he was
involved in local politics, philanthropy and business,
the latter primarily as a developer and builder. He died
of cancer in November 1999. This high performance computing
center was established in his honor by his friends and
friends of the Environmental Fluid Mechanics
Laboratory.
