Control Systems Project Lead: MBTA: passenger rail applicationResponsible for delivering the design, integration, and development of Controls System software.Effective in building strong cross-functional relationships across the Transportation business. Proactively improving the engineering process & cross-business communications through direct engagement, ownership, and focus.I take great pride in the mentoring and development of team members. "Builder of Engineers"

Instrumental in creating and establishing CDI's team at the Erie, PA location.Responsible for the testing, debug, and implementation of countermeasures for Locomotive Control System Embedded Software.Working with GE Transportation (Locomotives)

Inwood manufactured and distributed automotive brake products to the automotive aftermarket.I focused on conceptualizing, developing, and implementing high impact improvements in products & process. The improvements were coupled with a LEAN culture, enabling Inwood to achieve strategic goals and impact bottom line profits. Improvement projects ranged from a complete redesign & reconfiguration of the assembly process; to the design and implementation of capital equipment to increase quality and consistency, and the R&D of alternative raw materials & suppliers to increase product performance and competitiveness to meet and exceed customer expectations.I am most proud of my efforts in creating a team of effective individuals with a cohesive “LEAN centered culture”. Using my collaborative management style, servant leadership, and continuous training, the employees of Inwood felt appreciated, were improving personally, and as a result became more proactive in their continual improvement activities.My passion for product R&D came about through vehicle testing, collaborating with testing laboratories & suppliers, and researching new materials and innovative processes via industry experts, colloquiums, and studies.

Complete vehicle research, design, and development of Engine Cooling, Heat Resistance, and Performance systems (acceleration, aerodynamics)Wind tunnel research/test project lead: 1999-2002Instrumental in increasing the Aerodynamic test capability through Wind Tunnel testing and Simulation correlation. Delivered an intensive correlation of multiple facilities in Japan, Canada, & US. Resulting is significant decreases in engineering expenses and shortening development cycle.The increased capability of Honda's North American R&D facility spring boarded the business to deside to build its own Wind Tunnel in Raymond, OH.(2010)http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-08-25/honda-adds-wind-tunnel-in-ohio-amid-355-million-in-auto-plant-upgrades.html Added value benefits from this research consisted of, a transfer & sharing of Best Practices within the organization, more accurate measurement of on-road testing, and increased internal visibility of aerodynamics as a contributor to fuel economy.
