Self-motivated and highly driven Engineering Manager with a demonstrated record of successfully executing challenging programs. I specialize in driving professional development while delivering complex engineering objectives through vision, inter-personal skills, and engineering expertise. In my 9+ years of managing diverse engineering groups, I've been repeatedly sought to resolve company-level issues and consistently trusted with annual design and procurement budgets exceeding $100M. The unique blend of leadership insights that I've gained from managing multiple diverse teams, coupled with a long-standing passion for both engineering and education, allow me to successfully deliver engineering solutions while driving positive change within my engineering unit.My commitment to positively influencing organizational culture led me to seek and obtain positions as our company recruiting lead for mechanical engineers (~400 total engineers) and company training council lead. In each position, I have worked to align the company's mission and values to our practices in hiring and developing future generations.Throughout my career, I've repeatedly moved into different engineering sections at the request of Senior Leadership to resolve critical issues impacting our ability to support the Nation's defense. In each case, I've drawn on my leadership experience, strong work ethic, and technical curiosity to make an immediate impact and resolve complex engineering and business problems.
