President of Technical Solutions Group Ammo, Inc. (TSG Ammo) which supplies engineering support. Some of our past and current clients are the Defense Advanced Research Agency (DARPA), Technical Support Working Group (TSWG), National Institute of Justice (NIJ), General Atomics, Puritan Research Corporation, and Data Buoy LLC. We provide counsel on operational and tactical, concept of operations issues, production and technical management matters. We can provide expertise in advanced Less Lethal concepts and weapons, sensors and sensor deployment, and robotics. We can provide specialized consulting on program development, acquisition strategies and program management. Worked with vendors, customers, and employees to define and document requirements, address technical concerns, prepare cost proposals and contract modifications, review financial reports and provide project status. Provided counsel on operational, production and technical management matters to departments and team leaders.Have arranged, planned and successfully executed technology demonstrations for our customers. The latest technology demonstrations were for the Sao Paulo, Brazil Military Police and Fire department and Mexico's Presidential Security Unit. The customers selected several technologies that were demonstrated in real world conditions for the Brazilians at a private MOUT site in the United States and for the Mexican's at the Presidential Compound in Mexico City. Currently we are supporting a technology demonstration which will be taking place at the Camp Lejeune MOUT site for Puritan Research Corporation. This will include their Shooter location system, a hand launched micro UAV and Geo-referenced events and surveillance mapping software. This geo-referenced software enhances data collection, from the Shooter location system and UAV and handles distribution, dissemination, and collaboration.

Coordinated and scheduled activities concerned with technical developments, engineering design and test problems. Directed integration of technical activities and products, prepared interim and final project reports. I inured the cultivation of a team environment by delegating specific areas of responsibility to team leaders and individual team members while providing training/mentoring and support as needed. This allowed individual team members to develop and grow to their full potential, insuring their vested interest in the product's success.Regularly handled multiple projects simultaneously, set priorities and adapted to changing situations, by a thorough knowledge of computers, verbal communication and in writing and made presentations once or twice a month.Designed and supervised the building of a ballistic test range capable of recording and analysis of high¬speed projectiles in-flight and at impact. Designed manufactured and tested several 12 gauge less lethal projectiles state of the art distraction devices and designed a camera sensor deployed from a 40mm grenade launcher for the law enforcement and military markets.Responsible for the development of engineering manufacturing instructions provided engineering oversight and support to the manufacturing area and assembly area, analyzed engineering sketches, specifications, and related data and drawings to control design factors such as size and arrangement of parts.Insured appropriate personnel were assigned to specific phases or aspects of projects such as technical studies, product design, and preparation of specifications, technical plans, and product testing.Reviewed product design for compliance with engineering principles, company standards, customer contract requirements, related specifications, and manufactured prototypes using rapid prototype methods where appropriate or conventional model shops as needed.

President of Technical Solutions, Inc. (company's current name is Force Protection Inc.) which manufactured ballistic and mine protected vehicles and less lethal ammunition. Oversaw manufacturing, testing and administrative personnel and followed personnel levels for all programs. Worked with vendors, customers, and employees to define and document requirements, address technical concerns, prepares cost proposals and ensured all contract requirements were met or contract modifications were drafted and submitted, review financial reports and provide project status. I chaired the engineering working group, responsible for developing and carrying out workflow changes to meet vehicle production goals. Provided input on operational, production and technical management matters to department and team leader.I was responsible for technology transfer of vehicle hull technology from South Africa and worked extensively with Dr. Vernon Joynt of Mechem, a member of the South African government's Armscor group. This required regular contact with the United States State Department, Department of Commerce, the United States Army program manager out of Ft. Belvoir VA, Mechem and the South African government. This effort was further complicated by the transition of MECHEM originally as a research unit of the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) of the government of South Africa, transitioning into a commercial division of DENEL (South Africa).Coordinated and scheduled activities concerned with technical developments, engineering design and test problems. Directed integration of technical activities and products, prepared interim and final project reports. I insured the critical success goals we had developed were adhered to and reviewed regularly.
