My 40+ years of experience have covered a broad range of activities, however, all have had a focus on System Engineering Management. Twenty plus years in the USAF started in the Nuclear Survivability of land based systems (especially ICBMs), transitioned into strategic planning for the future and ended as the Chief Engineer and then Program Manager for the GPS Satellite and Ground Control System. As different as these efforts were, common lessons were learned from them that apply to a wide range of activities. After retirement from the AF I worked for 20+ years providing System Engineering Management services to the Air Force Space Program attempting to help them regain the System Engineering expertise that was lost during efforts to reform acquisition processes. My current interests lay in transferring the understanding gained during this career to the next generations while helping them avoid the mistakes of the past and apply the lessons learned from them.
Listed skills include Big Picture System Engineering Of Solutions To Complex Needs, Management, Project Management, Program Management, and 15 others.
