When the Ocean Wind 1 project was abruptly canceled in November my contract position with Caldwell Marine was terminanated. Since that time I've been supporting the design of a new generation of support ships for the US Navy.However, I'm eager to return to subsea oil & gas and/or renewables e.g. offshore wind. I am available on short notice.

Oceaneering is a major Engineering, Procurement, Installation & Commissioning provider in Subsea Oil & Gas and Defense As a staff engineer for Oceaneering I lead interdisciplinary teams in the development of subsea deployable remotely operated vehicle (ROV) systems.

BMT supplied advanced subsea instrumentation systems to the offshore Oil & Gas sectorAfter almost nine-years as a Subsea Project Engineer at BMT (2007 - 2016), followed by a brief separation due to the downturn, I was invited to return to my former position in April of 2018. During my my return I facilitated the installation and commissioning of the Egina FPSO riser instrumentation system.

TE Connectivity is a major supplier of subsea, electrical and optical connectors & harnesses for all industries.At TE Connectivity (SEACON) I managed, mentored and supervised four direct reports in developing custom subsea electro/optical connector and umbilical assemblies for the subsea and defense sectorIn addition to supporting a major US defense contractor, in developing sonar array connector housings, I delivered custom subsea umbilical connectors to a US EPIC for a large greenfield project in the US Gulf of Mexico

BMT supplied advanced subsea instrumentation systems to the offshore Oil & Gas sectorAs a project engineer in the subsea sector, I developed, installed and commissioned several riser, jumper base spool and mooring line integrity monitoring systems for deepwater developments in West Africa and the Gulf of Mexico (CLOV, Pazflor, Cascade, et. al.). These are multi-discipline projects that require knowledge of Subsea Umbilical, Riser and Flowline structures, dynamics, corrosion and materials, fabrication and coatings, etc. Being the technical lead I coordinated teams of six-eight engineers, designers and technicians, providing mentoring and guidance as required. The systems were consistently delivered in a safe, timely and cost effective manner to meet the client’s requirements. I represented my company at project kick-off meetings for multimillion-dollar contracts (Cascade, USAN, Egina), lead design reviews with EPICs and oil majors (Saipem, Subsea7, Total, Petrobras, etc.) and managed subcontractors worldwide.In addition to long-term missions to offshore platforms in the Gulf of Mexico and West Africa, I have passed weeks to months in fabrication yards in Indonesia and Nigeria and engaged in numerous offshore vessel operations. This has given me a hands-on, practical perspective which often proves valuable.

SeaLandAire is a small engineering contractor that specializes in one-off systems (SBIRs) for the US department of defenseAt SeaLandAire I developed a numerical simulation of a subsea, hydrodynamic ‘wing’ in support of an autonomous, energy harvesting, station-keeping vehicle. To validate the model, I conducted tow-tank testing of a 3-D printed wing prototype.To finalize the project, a successful sea-trial, and proof of concept, for an autonomous, energy harvesting, station keeping surface vehicle was completed.

Fugro GEOS (now Fugro Marine) specializes in oceanographic measurement systems for offshore Oil & GasAt Fugro I developed platform based and seafloor founded Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) systems for the offshore industry. I then installed these systems on, or deployed them near, deepwater oil & gas drilling platforms in the Gulf of Mexico. At appropriate intervals I recovered and/or serviced the systems. Post recovery / service I evaluated the acquired oceanographic data to determine location, heading, size and strength of GOM loop currents. These data were also provided to the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management via the BOEM website.

NUWC is a US Navy research, development, test and evaluation and engineering centerAT NUWC I developed and tested an Instrumented Tow Cable that employs principles of temperature dependent light scattering in an optical fiber (Distributed Temperature Sensing), to infer seawater temperature along the length of the cable, as it is towed through the water column. This work mandated managing several vendors and in-house technical staff to construct the system and verify its operating parameters. The portable system included winches, slip-rings and software for at-sea deployment and retrieval of the 1800-meter cable, and the valid data-acquisition. Once the system was tested and operational, I was technical lead for multiple sea-tests including two international military exercises and several scientific trials, successfully proving the technological feasibility.
