• Attended periodic test and evaluation, nuclear effects and support facility meetings to include meetings with nuclear effects test facilities in support of upgrade, instrumentation set up, and operations planning as.
• Refined TRMC’s nuclear modernization infrastructure prioritization spanning nuclear weapon effects, ground, and flights test over 39 unique capabilities, identified one closed gap and saved nine million dollars.
• Represented TRMC at DoD’s electronic radiation hardening working group, provided critical comments on neutron effects studies and shepherded three million dollar neutron test capability proposal to funding and execution.
• Authored first annual nuclear modernization enterprise update to the Deputy Secretary of Defense, highlighted investment progress, emerging needs, and 10-year strategic outlook against missile defense and hypersonic.
• Developed four integrated product teams to mature nuclear effects, ground, and flight testing infrastructure investment proposals and assess long-term scheduling conflicts at high demand nuclear test facilities.

Randolph AFB, TX, US

• Led cross-organizational development of Air Force policy and safety certification requirements for combat directed energy (laser and electromagnetic frequency radiation (EMFR)) systems. Established software and.
• Developed the Air Force’s first comprehensive directed energy system safety certification process and hardware and software requirements for the testing, development, and fielding of directed energy technologies.
• Led nuclear surety policy re-write, consolidating five outdated publications into one concise publication and created an enterprise focal point for strategic weapon system acquisition.
• Created a methodology for quantifying risk and identifying the risk acceptance authority to replace overly conservative deterministic limits for test, development and fielding of directed energy capabilities.
• Evaluated Russian nuclear mishap radiation dose at classified site and addressed partner nation concerns for health and safety.
• Built a directed energy familiarization curriculum to develop senior weapons safety professionals’ ability to review complex directed energy systems for the Air Force safety certification program.

• As the Occupational and Environmental Health (OEH) Programs Manager at the 27th Special Operations Wing, oversaw the occupational and environmental health programs across the installations. Subject matter expert for.
• Recovered, in coordination with civil engineering and aircraft maintenance shops, a condemned aircraft paint-booth from legacy hazards, and enabled a $6 million aircraft maintenance depot conversion.
• Drove strategic partnership between Cannon AFB and two other Air Force bases in New Mexico to develop drinking water technician certification training curriculum, reduced certification failure rate from 50% to 10%.
• Mitigated 50%+ loss of skilled personnel prior to capstone inspection, forecast human resource loss six months out, strategically prioritized program demands and risks, received one minor finding-well under Air Force.
• Led a team of 22 senior executives to review award packages for nine employees across seven different career fields and earned six wins at Major Command level, 300% more than the previous year.

• For general duties and scope of responsibilities, refer to work done at 27th Special Operations Wing in Clovis, NM. However, number of technicians supervised was 45 at Dayton, OH and budget was $4 million.
• Updated hazardous spill plan template, clarified emergency response actions, roles/responsibilities, and recovery actions impacting 214 work centers.
• Oversaw review of 1000+ facility upgrades and construction plans. Detected hazardous material migration out of firing range HVAC and developed noise attenuating material requirement prior to combat assault range.
• Quantified EMFR health risks and exposure times for human test subjects in support of an institutional and ethics review of an Air Force Research Laboratory study.
• Led six “sick building” surveys, performed bulk sampling, gas chromatography/mass spectrometry to evaluate over 700 potential chemical hazards impacting 2,400 personnel.
• Evaluated biological hazards for the Air Force’s BSL-III program, ensured operational certification from the CDC.

Randolph AFB, TX, US

• Led Air Force’s only radiochemistry lab, processed 15,000 environmental and bioassay samples per year through liquid scintillation, gamma and alpha spectrometry, gross alpha/beta, and inductively coupled plasma mass.
• Managed the radiochemistry lab move from Texas to Ohio two months early with 55% personnel turn-over, with no break in service to 320 installations, and saved $500,000 in contract lab costs.
• Developed inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry method for quantifying depleted uranium for bioassay, closed capability gap for monitoring depleted uranium exposures for Operation Desert Storm veterans.
• Performed gamma spectrometry study on thermalized highly enriched uranium samples from Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s research reactor and developed counter proliferation analysis methods.
• Led eight AF contributions to joint defense support to civil authority training operations, developed operational doctrine, training, response plans, and served as exercise controller/subject matter expert.
• Secured US Department of Agriculture soil importation permit, permitted radiological analysis of material from high-visibility sites in Guam and Saudi Arabia and ensured return of land to host nations.
