Experienced Aerospace and Energy professional manager. Improving the whole business system, one piece at a time. I will connect marketing plans to improved sales. Support increased sales with better forecasting and logistics planning. Improved customer satisfaction through better product tracking and resolution management. I help opportunities flow through the systems and enable participants to move the work forward, using modern techniques from model based design and Internet of Things (IoT). Let me bring a fresh perspective and new solutions to realize the potential of your business.

Improving the business of mechanical energy storage (flywheels) over chemical battery solutions. Expand operations to new market location. Manage the business operations. Improve customer engagement and sales. Improve customer satisfaction through improved service offerings. Reduce costs and lead times.

Led new product introduction from requirements, schedule and budget to the initial customer experience.Managed new technology strategy and projects from acquisition business acquisition to new product implementation. Developed strategic customer relationships to find actual customer needs and build to their needs.Over 5 years led the technology road map to improve output by 10%, while reducing costs by 30%.

Developed business relationship with Navy and Air force maintenance depots as we prepared to implement the F135 engine maintenance depots. Negotiated changes to upgrade the IT systems and improved the 3 year schedule by 20%.

Led systems team to design the PureCycle® product. Developed applications team to support sales on 6 continents. Developed and negotiated Liquidated Damages approach on $10 million contract. Helped integrate Italian company acquisition.

Led aerodynamic/thermodynamic, design, control and test for F135 augmentor(afterburner) ignition module. Defined and support engine validation test requirements to prove engine design and correct problems before flight.

Developed CFD and nodal simulations and models to predict and improve design performance for F119 and F135 engines. Defined aerodynamic and thermal requirements and negotiated with cross functional team to create a successful augmentor(afterburner) ignition system.

Built automated optimization system to determine best geometry for complex flow systems. Built custom CFD models of RBCC (Rocket Based Combined Cycle) engines and analyzed the nozzle thrust impact of tangentially introduced jets into a reacting flow. Built a small cluster to run the models. Built a 3D visualization tool based on OpenGL to analyze the results.

Maintained and Purchased professor, office and lab computers for the mechanical engineering department. Managed shared department services and trained users. Maintained Linux, HP-UX, Solaris, SGI, OSX, and Windows based machines. Installed and maintained software, including clusters. Recovered lost files from damaged or deleted sources. Department consisted of over 100 computers.

Built custom CFD models of RBCC (Rocket Based Combined Cycle) engines and analyzed the nozzle thrust impact of tangentially introduced jets into a reacting flow. Collaborated with the author of the structured RANS implicit solver to correct errors in the beta solver built in F77 and F90.Teachers assistant for Fluid Dynamic courses.

Stocked Shelves. Assisted customers to find materials. Ran the register. Worked massive used book buyback at the end of the semester. Won fastest 10 key of the student employees on year.

Designed and improved test stands for product validation and Designed waveguides for UAVs. Reduced test time by ½ and improved SolidWorks instructions for parametric lofts and sweeps.

Planted trees and grass on tailing ponds to manage wind born dust. Planted grass and trees on mountains to recover environment from depression logging. Maintained flowers at entrances and visitor centers. Planned miles of irrigation systems to water new and existing trees and flowers. Performed food growth experiments on tailing ponds and measured produce metal contents. Counted and tracked the largest elk heard in the United States (at that time). Worked summers and vacations.
