Stealth Power is exactly what its name suggests: Power that is silent, unobtrusive, and clandestine. At Stealth Power, we design, build, and deploy mobile, rugged, and scalable smart energy solutions that help power critical systems such as ambulances, police vehicles, utility trucks, generators, tactical military vehicles, and locomotives. With the engine or generator turned OFF, our solution powers everything from life-saving medical equipment to remote towers equipped with intelligence sensors. We also build complete stand-alone power solutions using solar, wind, hydrogen, or propane generators. With our remote monitoring, management, and data-analytics platform, you have a real-time dashboard view of all your Stealth Power solutions. Our results are impressive: we generate meaningful cost savings by reducing fuel and maintenance expenses, and we reduce carbon dioxide emissions and engine noise. Our team and manufacturing are U.S.-based and our customer service is impeccable. Turn off your engine and turn on Stealth Power.

Director of the Physics Program with direct responsibility for 23 Professors, 18 laboratories and the education and professional development of 1200 cadets annually.Selected Achievements:▪ Redesigned the Department’s Physics Program, including academic and laboratory objectives, in support of the Academy’s curriculum redesign, resulting in accreditation and full implementation.▪ Developed and implemented an extensive ABET accreditation and assessment support plan, by building consensus and incorporating input from the thirteen academic departments, in support of the Academy in maintaining its full engineering accreditation status.▪ Led a team of 250 leadership mentors in the execution of basic combat training for 1300 civilians, successfully preparing them for acceptance into the Academy as members of the Corps of Cadets.▪ Established a leader development vision and strategy, focused on course directors and their assistant professors, leading to the academic promotion of a majority of those eligible.

Successfully completed the requirements of a post-graduate program of instruction featuring courses focused on the role of force in world politics; the foundations of strategy; the causes, conduct and termination of war; decision-making and policy analysis; and crisis management.

Successfully completed the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Nuclear Engineering. Dissertation titled, "Application of Computational Fluid Dynamics Methods to Improve Thermal Hydraulic Code Analysis," focused on modeling the natural circulation loop of the NuScale Power Module (small modular reactor).Abstract:A computational fluid dynamics code is used to model the primary natural circulation loop of a proposed small modular reactor for comparison to experimental data and best-estimate thermal-hydraulic code results. Recent advances in computational fluid dynamics code modeling capabilities make them attractive alternatives to the current conservative approach of coupled best-estimate thermal hydraulic codes and uncertainty evaluations. The results from a computational fluid dynamics analysis are benchmarked against the experimental test results of a 1:3 length, 1:254 volume, full pressure and full temperature scale small modular reactor during steady-state power operations and during a depressurization transient. A comparative evaluation of the experimental data, the thermal hydraulic code results and the computational fluid dynamics code results provides an opportunity to validate the best-estimate thermal hydraulic code’s treatment of a natural circulation loop and provide insights into expanded use of the computational fluid dynamics code in future designs and operations. Additionally, a sensitivity analysis is conducted to determine those physical phenomena most impactful on operations of the proposed reactor’s natural circulation loop. The combination of the comparative evaluation and sensitivity analysis provides the resources for increased confidence in model developments for natural circulation loops and provides for reliability improvements of the thermal hydraulic code.

Principal advisor to the Army Chief of Staff for Congressional relations, including personal interactions, testimony and communication of the Army’s strategic messages for an annual $210 billion budget.Selected Achievements:▪ Successfully advised the Army Chief of Staff and synchronized the Army Staff during preparation and testimony for eight Congressional hearings (Authorization and Appropriations Committees) in support of the President’s budget proposal, resulting in full budget authority approval of over $210 billion for two fiscal years.▪ Led the Army’s legislative team to support funding for increasing the size of the Army to support the Global War on Terror, securing authorization and funding for an additional 55,000 Soldiers.▪ Established a dynamic strategic communications plan, focused on building consensus among Members of Congress and Professional Staff Members, leading to successful implementation of key legislative proposals focused on accomplishing Army readiness priorities and wounded warrior support.

Director of Army procurement accounts and liaison officer to the Congressional defense authorization committees. Responsible for developing and executing engagement strategies for interactions and testimony on Soldier and force protection accounts including Mine Resistant Ambush Protected vehicles and Individual Body Armor in support of an annual $30 billion procurement budget. Deployed to Iraq in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom.Selected Achievements:▪ Led the Army’s legislative team to support emergency funding for Mine Resistant Ambush Protected vehicles, building partnerships with dozens of commercial vendors and Congressional committees, ultimately securing $11 billion to procure over 10,000 vehicles in support of combat operations in Iraq and Afghanistan.▪ Organized and implemented a comprehensive plan to identify the Army’s procurement priorities for all wheeled vehicles and communications devices to internal and external audiences, securing over $25 billion during two fiscal budget cycles.▪ Developed and executed a wide-ranging strategic messaging plan for the Army’s body armor program, focused on aligning difficult civic groups, the media and Congressional oversight committees, resulting in restored public confidence and full budget funding of the program.

Principal advisor to the Chairman of the Strategic Forces Subcommittee of the Senate Armed Services Committee for all defense hearings, floor debates and meetings with senior members of the Administration, Members of Congress and his constituents. Directly contributed to securing $3 billion defense budget dollars for the Alabama defense industry.Selected Achievements:▪ Established a comprehensive hearing plan to support the Departments of Defense and Energy’s budget request to support all United States strategic forces, leading to continuation of vital missile defense and nuclear weapons programs and approval of over $20 billion in budget authority.▪ Coordinated with internal and external stakeholders in support of Alabama defense business interests to develop an engagement strategy for the Appropriations Committees, securing an additional $535 million for budget requests.
