Senior leader responsible for establishing and executing the vision for electronic systems in nuclear propulsion plants in U. S. Navy ships, advanced the state-of-the-art in electrical generation, distribution, and propulsion systems, developed a first-of-a-kind network-based machinery control system, and directed the installation of reactor instrumentation and control systems that set the standard for cost-conscious obsolescence management of electronic systems and are the envy of the commercial nuclear power industry. Directed over 1,000 engineers, scientists and designers. • Submarine Electric Propulsion System - Developed first-of-its-kind electric drive propulsion for the COLUMBIA Class ballistic missile submarine that will maintain the nation’s strategic superiority of the most survivable leg of its deterrent triad into the next century.• Advanced Aircraft Carrier Network and Electrical Systems – Delivered the most powerful and efficient electrical systems, network controls, and instrumentation in the U.S. Navy for the FORD class aircraft carrier. Provided 3 times the electrical generation capacity while reduced nuclear propulsion plant crew requirements 50% and operating costs 30%.• Cybersecurity - Implemented early and aggressive actions to protect the Navy’s nuclear reactors from cybersecurity attacks and encouraging similar actions Navy-wide to protect critical control systems.• Enterprise Leader – Experience in taking on difficult organizational challenges and pushing industry and other government organizations to keep pace. Navy’s most experienced Nuclear Submarine Sea Trials Director.

Oversaw and provided leadership for USS VIRGINIA class submarine propulsion and reactor plant arrangements, structural design, fluid systems, construction, and test.

• Commissioned Officer (1985-1990) - Directly responsible for the design, qualification, and delivery of the Navy’s first fully-integrated microprocessor-based nuclear reactor and propulsion instrumentation and control system. • Enlisted Electronic Technician (1979-1981) - Nuclear Reactor Operator and Enlisted Submarine Qualified
