Advanced composites design, analysis and manufacturing. Aerospace project and program management. Recent work on UAV development, Army rotorcraft airframe structures (FARA). High Altitude Pseudo Satellite Platforms (HAPS). Individual Blade Control and composite rotor systems.

Green Dynamics specializes in composite manufacturing solutions for large structures. Our modular blade tooling concept and laminate kitting and stitching machine were both awarded an NSF SBIR's. Our kitting machine will come online in 2018 and provide lamination of multi-ply dry laminates ready for infusion. Green Dynamics lead the development of Blade.

Chief Engineer for the iFAB, overseeing the design and implementation of the advanced manufacturing line for the DARPA AVM program

Assist DoD in measuring the effectiveness of its investment in basic research. Conduct various workshops to assess expert opinions on emerging technologies and help disseminate these topics throughout the armed forces research labs. Create methods that will improve the impact of basic research in the DoD.

• I lead a design and manufacturing team of six engineers and technicians through the Joint Heavy Lift program and Karem TR53 tilt-rotor development. I was in charge of composite structural analysis, design and.
• Directed design and manufacturing of Karem TR53 tilt-rotor; manufacturing large carbon airframe lamination tools using low-cost tooling approach with a team of four and a tooling budget of less than $1mil. Large.
• Oversaw the construction and installation of $5mil + manufacturing facility including large gantry router, low and high temp ovens, kitting machine, spray booth and custom workspaces.
• Worked closely with government officials at AFRL, NASA and AATD to determine the operational needs of America’s future heavy lift vehicles. These interactions exemplified the benefits of a close interaction between.
• Worked with large and small composite material vendors to develop custom solutions for our manned aircraft design. Worked with Army, Air Force and FAA personnel on the future requirements for 30 yr service life.
• Helped develop design of multi-celled, co-cured rotor blade and a patented manufacturing method to produce the structure.

• Developed structural designs for de-spun payload integration and final stage platform as well as all vehicle composite overwrapped pressure vessels on RASCAL program.
• Conducted analysis on vehicle dynamics during launch, transport and captive carry in aircraft launch vehicle.
• Developed unique pneumatic ejection system design for in-flight deployment of hybrid rocket.
• Conducted design reviews with DARPA personnel and SETA contractors for structural aspects of the RASCAL program.

Worked with one senior engineer to draft manually from scratch a 500 bhp 500 ft-lb 5.0 liter aero diesel engine.Worked with pattern makers, foundries, machine shops, and material process suppliers to produce all components of diesel engine. Took the design from the drawing board to first components in two years with two full time engineers and one part.
