Trident Training Facility - Bangor, Wa

Training facilitator for the Fleet Interactive Display Equipment (FIDE), which is a real world computer backed simulator for the nuclear power operations center on Ohio Class (Ballistic Missile) Submarines, and the Virtual Interactive Display Equipment (VIDE), which is a full virtual computer simulator for the nuclear power operations center on Los Angeles Class (Fast Attack) Submarines. I facilitate training in the areas of routine, maintenance and casualty reactor, power and propulsion plant operations using advanced simulation equipment modeled to respond in accordance with real world situations.

Uss Albuquerque (Ssn 706) - San Diego, Ca

I developed, mentored and managed a team of twelve electrical subject matter experts in the areas of electrical equipment troubleshooting, repairs and maintenance on electrical generation equipment (AC-DC motor generators / steam driven turbine generators / diesel driven emergency generators), electrical distribution systems (450Vac / 300Vdc), electrical control systems and general electrical equipment. I developed processes used to evaluate and ensure proficiency and procedural compliance within the areas of operations, maintenance and safety. I coordinated with outside agencies to perform inspections of critical equipment and repairs requiring vendor specific tooling and training. I acted as technical supervisor for troubleshooting equipment vital to daily operations, life support and mission critical systems.

Nuclear Regional Maintenance Department - Kings Bay, Ga

I was responsible for developing a training program, certification process and for ensuring a proficient level of knowledge to a workforce of 120 radiological workers and supervisors. This was accomplished through in-depth initial training utilizing both classroom and practical labs followed by continuous refresher training and quarterly examination. I coordinated with outside agencies in the aspect of radiological casualty response and incident management. I organized weekly small scale and quarterly large scale (involving outside agencies) training casualty response evolutions which demonstrated the organizations ability to respond to radiological casualty scenarios. I created a record keeping process to track workforce records in an electronic format reducing paper records 95% and increasing efficiency of training management by 20%.

Norfolk Naval Shipyard - Norfolk, Va

I completed the Supervisory Radiological Controls Technician training program at Norfolk Naval Shipyard in which I was trained in management practices in regards to radiological work. During this program I learned incident response management, public relations response associated with Naval Nuclear materials and management of maintenance teams conducting radiological work.

Nuclear Regional Maintenance Department - Kings Bay, Ga

I performed radiological oversight for maintenance on radioactive systems to mitigate personnel exposure and potential spread of radioactive contamination to uncontrolled areas. I was involved in environmental monitoring to provide data to external agencies required by federal regulations.

Norfolk Naval Shipyard - Norfolk, Va

I completed the Radiological Controls Technician training program at Norfolk Naval Shipyard in which I learned the fundamentals of radiation exposure and contamination controls as applied to maintenance on systems associated with Naval Nuclear Reactors. This training involved radiation theory, biological effects of radiation, radiological spread minimization work practices and radiation detection equipment.

Uss Rhode Island (Ssbn 740 Blue) - Kings Bay, Ga

Electrical Division Leader where I was responsible for twelve team members directly involved with the operations and maintenance onboard an Ohio Class Submarine. During this time, I was first responsible for managing and then providing oversight of the following programs:Continuous Training ProgramEnsured all personnel involved in reactor operations and the maintenance of electrical systems associated with reactor safety, power generation equipment, life support equipment and basic electrical repair received proper initial training as well as ongoing training to maintain a high level of expertise. Maintenance Program (Divisional / Department Level)Ensured that all electrical machinery (Divisional Level), mechanical systems, life support systems and reactor systems (Departmental Level) were properly serviced within the prescribed periodicity and during other times based on usage or operational status.Repair Parts InventoryEnsured that all required spare parts were maintained on hand to perform equipment maintenance and repair in order for the organization to meet all operational commitments.Machinery-Structure Borne Noise Monitoring / ReductionProvided for the monitoring of equipment and was utilized as an indicator for the overall health of rotational machinery in order to detect potential failures and mitigate unplanned equipment downtime.Emergency BatteryOperations and maintenance of both traditional lead acid and more advanced submarine valve regulated lead acid batteries.Formal Navy SchoolsUsed to track and schedule all of the required specialized Naval schools ensuring that personnel with specific skill sets were readily available to assist in operations and maintenance.

Nuclear Power Training Command - Charleston, Sc

I completed the Navy Nuclear Program training pipeline in Charleston, SC which consisted of the following three schools. Nuclear Field A School, where I received my initial Electrician training in which I learned the basics of electricity, electronic circuits, switch theory, power generation and troubleshooting. Nuclear Power School, where I learned the basics of thermodynamics, heat transfer, fluid dynamics, nuclear physics, materials science and reactor theory in preparation for operating a Naval Nuclear Reactor. Nuclear Power Training Unit, the final phase of Nuclear Power training, where I trained on an operational Nuclear Reactor and ultimately qualified to independently operate the Electrical Power Generation Systems and Steam Propulsion Systems.

Recruit Training Command - Great Lakes, Il

As a Navy Recruit, I learned the basics in seamanship, firearms training, firefighting and shipboard damage control, lessons in Navy heritage, values, teamwork and the Navy's Core Values of Honor, Courage, and Commitment.

Augusta, Ga

Enlisted in the United States Navy and attended Augusta State University, while on active duty, to complete my Associate of Science in Core Curriculum under the Navy’s Associate Degree Completion Program.

Aiken, Sc

As a Human Resources-Information Technology department member, I performed database development and management using FileMaker Pro. I maintained a database consisting of more than 300 Cold War Worker resumes used to ensure proper job candidate screening and servicing of displaced Cold War Workers at Westinghouse Savannah River Company - Savannah River Site. During this time, I introduced the concept of converting the high volume of paper resumes received into a digital file format and using optical character recognition (OCR) software for resume evaluation and prescreening to determine a candidate’s initial job placement eligibility as compared to available job postings.

Martinez, Ga

As a customer service associate, I developed skills integral to customer relations and satisfaction such as active listening, interpretation and issue mitigation and resolution. As an inventory control specialist, I was responsible for the maintenance and rotation of current products and ordering supplemental products to maintain a consistently available inventory matched with market demand fluctuations. As a team leader in inventory replenishment I supervised a group eight team members responsible for product replenishment and general housekeeping in a retail supermarket environment.

Certificate Of Proficiency, Network Support Technician, 4.0

Certification focusing on core networking concepts and basic networking infrastructure/hardware management along with providing a basis.

Bachelor Of Science In Applied Science And Technology, Nuclear/Nuclear Power Technology/Technician, 3.5

Education record

The naval nuclear program is widely acknowledged as having the most demanding academic program in the U.S. military. Academics proceed.
