As the Quality Assurance Manager, authored portions of the F-35 Naval Aviation Maintenance Program Supplemental instruction and managed the stand-up of 42 maintenance programs and audit schedules meeting the squadron’s Safe for Flight certification requirements. Direct contributor to over 3,000 flight hours and 40 qualified F-35B Pilots.

Managed the daily maintenance operations of 92 employees involved in aircraft Communication, navigation, Identification, and weapon systems to ensure compliance with operational objectives, project schedules, budget constraints, safety regulations, testing and final inspection procedures. Achieved 32% increase in qualifications, certifications, and licenses in support of 60 F/A-18 aircraft that flew over 10,000 sorties in support of Navy/Marine pilot initial and refresher training requirements.

Managed 220 employees and 15 supervisors in support of 11 aircraft squadrons of 6 dissimilar type/model/series aircraft while conducting combat operations in Iraq 2009. Maintained an average repair turnaround time of less than 7 days on repairable avionics components and an 87% Ready For Issue rate through implementation of Lean Principles and Theory of Constraint methodology. Managed a Mobile Maintenance Facility (MMF) reconstitution initiative for over 240 MMFs valued at over $250 Million. Actions ensured the most optimum and effective use of logistical cargo space, program refurbishment funding, and resulted in on-site disposal of over 40 MMFs, averting transportation costs for their inevitable stateside disposal.
