A trusted and decorated Nuclear Submarine Officer with over a decade of diverse leadership experience in fast-paced, highly technical environments. In my current position as Shift Engineer at Nuclear Power Training Unit Charleston, I am the senior onboard supervisor responsible for ensuring safe nuclear power operations, certifying rigorous maintenance and safety standards, and conducting high-level training for the next generation of the US Navy's nuclear operators and officers on my crew of about 100 staff and students. Previously, I served as the Assistant Weapons Officer and Reactor Controls Assistant on the fast attack submarine USS Newport News in Groton, CT; a tour spent half in an engineering-heavy shipyard availability and half operational, certifying for deployment. I am certified Naval Nuclear Engineer by Naval Reactors. My education includes a Bachelor's of Science in Mechanical Engineering from Virginia Tech, as well as masters-level coursework and qualification through the Naval Nuclear Power Training Program. Currently in the process of transitioning out of the Navy, and looking to start work in an exciting and challenging new career May of 2025.
