As an accomplished Chief Engineer and individual contributor, I have been instrumental in leading several small UAV programs from initial concept to production. My expertise in clean-sheet design, prototyping, and flight testing has resulted in the successful development of 6 unique air vehicle systems, ranging from 5 to 55 lbs, including both re-usable and expendable unmanned aircraft.

My expertise in clean-sheet design, prototyping, and flight testing has resulted in the successful development of 6 unique air vehicle systems, ranging from 5 to 55 lbs, including both re-usable and expendable unmanned aircraft. To date, I have overseen the production of over 170 aircraft and supported the flight testing and demonstration of more than 70 of these vehicles at private and government ranges across the United States. Notably, two of these systems are part of active programs of record, and three are currently under development under contract with the US Government.My expertise extends to multiple areas, including composite design, electric propulsion, Li-Ion battery design and safety, datalinks, deployable wings and control surfaces, ground- and air-launched designs, ISR, EW, RF and other payload integration, ground control design & integration, autopilots, and low-cost design and test. Through my work, I have proven myself to be a valuable asset to any team seeking to develop and implement innovative UAV solutions. Show less
