I grew up on Long Island, NY and went to college in Pennsylvania and Minnesota and earned a PhD from the University of Maryland. For 18 exciting years I was with Lockheed Martin managing projects for NASA first in Washington DC and then in the San Francisco, California bay area. I traveled frequently to Houston, Texas, Cape Canaveral, Florida and Europe. While in Washington, DC, I managed projects for NASA that focused on technology innovation and development in the U.S. This task was accomplished by reviewing past government-industry cooperative efforts, examining capabilities of NASA Centers to lead development in the technologies, and surveying the state of current and planned research in academia, industry, and government agencies to determine the role that NASA might play within the development process. At Ames Research Center I lead six multi-disciplinary international project teams for Lockheed Martin’s contract at NASA’s Ames Research Center. Six highly successful flights included experiments with cell culture, nematodes, bacteria, and whole plantsMy vast experience includes conducting financial research and managing investor awareness campaigns for public companies. I handled research, due diligence and analysis for Going Public LLC.I now live near San Diego, California -- my favorite city. I am an independent specialist focusing on results driven performance for businesses and providing Medicare solutions for individuals.
