With over 45 years of experience in the nuclear industry, I bring a qualified skillset and unique experiences to all organizations, companies, and individuals with whom I have the opportunity to collaborate, including project management, safety culture, executive leadership, and industry expertise. As a professional speaker, consultant, and author, I seek to provide others the benefit of my experiences and lessons learned.I began my career in the U.S. Navy after graduating from the United States Naval Academy. After several years of service, I transitioned to the commercial nuclear industry. I held several positions within the industry, beginning as an operator and evolving to executive positions leading multi-billion dollar companies. The trajectory of my career has focused on program management, project recoveries, safety conscious work environments creation, strategic planning, and business development. Having worked at a number of the country’s largest and most vital nuclear stations and Department of Energy nuclear projects, some of my greatest successes happened when I was brought in to recover troubled facilities and projects. I was hired as the President of Nuclear Fuel Services, which is vital to the security of the United States since it is the sole producer of fuel for our nuclear Navy, after the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) had shut the facility down for operational and management issues. I led the restoration of confidence of the various stakeholders, including Naval Reactors, incorporating participative management, employee ownership, and project management enhancement techniques. The plant was restored to full operation under my leadership. I am the author of Push It to Move It, a book that is intended to provide all layers of management in nearly any industry with lessons that I have learned undergoing a variety of very challenging circumstances. This book is dedicated to my late wife, Cindy, who passed away from ALS in 2018.

Senior ConsultantLongenecker & Associates Apr 2011 - PresentSince retiring from active management in the nuclear industry, I have continued to help companies and organizations through consulting assignments: • Provided consulting support in the commercial and the Department of Energy (DOE) nuclear arenas. • Served on review teams for three major DOE projects, leading one. • Wrote a book, Push It to Move It, about my experiences in project management and nurturing a safety culture to pass along lessons learned. • Speaking to groups about topics concerning work environments and the benefits of nuclear energy. -
PresidentNuclear Fuel Services Mar 2010 - Apr 2011I became the President of Nuclear Fuel Services (NFS) due to significant safety culture and conduct of operations issues that resulted in an agreement with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) to shutdown of the facility. Through my involvement with the recovery of seven other nuclear facilities in a condition of forced shutdown or in serious trouble with the regulator or client with regards to facility performance, I was able to use my experience to evaluate the situation before implementing any organizational realignments and introducing any new programs or approaches. • Within my first month negotiated a phased restart of the facility and a return to full operations six months after that. This accomplishment required regaining the confidence of many stakeholders including the NRC, Naval Reactors (NR), the DOE, and, most importantly, the employees themselves. It also meant that NFS was back in the business of providing nuclear fuel to the Navy. • Established a Nuclear Safety Review Board to address an on-going need for high-level expert oversight reporting directly to the Board of Directors, as well as to the company president. • Established the Executive Review Board designed to provide a centralized forum for management personnel to be aware of and review employee and contractor issues. • Put in place a Safety Conscious Work Environment using such tools as an Employee Concerns Program, a People Team, a First Line Managers Council, and an Ombudsman Program, all of which provided as many venues as possible for employees to voice issues and concerns, and if requested, confidential manner. -
Vice PresidentBabcock & Wilcox Aug 2009 - Mar 2010I served as the number two person on B&W's bid for the Depleted Uranium Facility Six (DUF6) Project. This $438 million project was awarded to B&W TSG and it was felt that my presence on the bid, my role in the preparations for orals with DOE, and influence with decision makers in DOE and the states of Kentucky and Ohio were an essential component of that win. Some areas of strong contribution to the team and the bid included: Safety culture, Project management, Client, regulator, and public interface techniques. -
Senior Vice PresidentParsons Corporation Nov 2005 - Aug 2009As Senior Vice President, I was responsible for strategic planning and business development for the Savannah River Site (SRS), principally directed at the Liquid Waste portion. I was asked to assume management of the Salt Waste Processing Facility (SWPF) project, which, at the time, was the second most critical project in the DOE Complex, when it was in extremis. Performed as the SWPF Project Manager for 15 months and restored DOE confidence and achieved Critical Decision 2 (CD-2) approval, DOE’s permission to finalize the design. Convinced the DOE to start limited construction ahead of CD-3 and lead Integrated Safety Management System (ISMS) Phase I certification as well as successful completion of several other project external reviews such as the Independent Technical Review (ITR).During this time period, I remained active in the Energy Facilities Contractor Group (EFCOG) as the sponsoring Director of the Integrated Safety Management/ Quality Assurance Working Group (ISM/QA WG). I also served as co-sponsor with the DOE Head of Safety and Security for the combined DOE and EFCOG Safety Culture Task Force. Also during this time period, I participated on a panel discussion concerning whistle blowing hosted by the Government Accountability Program. I was the only executive from the nuclear industry on the panel, which was facilitated by columnist Juan Williams of FOX News and broadcast to over 200 universities for their business and management schools. -
Executive Vice PresidentCh2M Hill International Nuclear Services Ltd Sep 2004 - Nov 2005As Executive Vice President and Deputy, I managed the daily operations of the NBG, which included six major site operations in the Department of Energy (DOE) Complex, three site offices managing smaller DOE and commercial nuclear contracts, and individual contracts in the nuclear industry in the United States and abroad. The oversight included emphasis on conduct of operations, project management, and financial management at these nuclear facilities. During this time period, I was selected as the Chair of the Energy Facilities Contractors Group (EFCOG), which serves the DOE and its contractors (61 members) by sponsoring common approaches and sharing of lessons learned wherever possible. Note: The EFCOG is a volunteer group of DOE Contractors, whose purpose is to work with DOE to assure excellence in performance of its contractors. I had to relinquish the Chair when assuming Program Manager for the troubled SWPF. -

Vice President Of Engineering And ServicesNortheast Utilities Sep 1997 - Jan 2000As Vice President, I was responsible for nuclear engineering, engineering programs, licensing, environmental, training, and emergency preparedness. This site consisted of three nuclear reactors of three different designs. Because of the recovery mode Millstone Station was in at the time, the organization was approximately 400 employees and contractors. Assigned responsibility for the Safety Conscious Work Environment (SCWE) program, given responsibility for Human Resources, Employee Concerns, Legal, the SCWE Group, and the Employee Concerns Oversight Panel (ECOP). This team developed the SCWE program including education of the management team on 10CFR50.7. After nine months the order in this area was lifted as the first step to obtaining permission to restart the facility. Many utilities and other businesses are now benchmarking what was achieved at Millstone in the area of SCWE.

Program Manager For The Defense Wast Processing Facility (Dwpf)Westinghouse Savannah River Corporation Aug 1991 - Aug 1996The DWPF was in the final stages of construction and in the beginning of acceptance testing when I became the Program Manager. The DOE was frustrated and disappointed with the inability to make schedule commitments and stay within budget constraints. The DWPF condition was the same as the Replacement Tritium Facility (RTF) when I arrived there, so management wanted me to execute the same turn around at DWPF as done at RTF. This 2.5 billion dollar vitrification plant had a staff of over 1,600 people. I applied the same techniques I learned at Davis-Besse and practiced at RTF to change the culture at this facility.

Program Manager For The Replacement Tritium Facility (Rtf)Westinghouse Savannah River Corporation Jun 1990 - Aug 1991The RTF was a state-of-the-art tritium gas reprocessing facility, which separates the tritium gas from the decay products and other impurities when the tritium reservoirs are returned from the nation's nuclear weapons for replenishing. The vital project was behind schedule and over budget when I joined the team as the Program Manager. After several months of assessing the problems, I made some management changes and organizational realignments. I lead a top down (management input) and bottom up (worker input) review of the schedule and the budget and presented a new schedule and budget to the DOE, which they ultimately accepted. To manage this new commitment I instituted the following approaches:o Setting team priorities of safety, quality, schedule, and costo Plan of the Day (POD) and Plan of the Week (POW) accountability meetingso Milestone targets and celebrations when achievedo Project management tools like Work Breakdown Structure, Earned Value Analysis, and Risk Assessment Analysiso Daily critical path analysis
