I support Navy and Marine Corps business in the mid-Atlantic, leading teams focused on Engineering contributions to C4ISR systems development. Primary focus is at Naval Air Systems Command and Naval Air Warfare Center, Aircraft Division, but I also support Naval Surface Warfare efforts at Dahlgren, Indian Head, and the Navy Yard in Washington DC. Work in engineering, systems integration, research, development, test and evaluation (RDT&E), with particular focus on manned and unmanned aircraft systems.Previously SAIC, as Division Manager for Simulation and Research Services Division in Lexington Park, MD. In addition to NAVAIR, the Division provided aeronautical engineering to NASA (Langley, Ames, and Johnson); Air Force Research Lab (AFRL) in Dayton, OH; and the FAA.BS Aerospace Engineering, Virginia Tech, 1993BS Ocean Engineering, Virginia Tech, 1993MS Aerospace Engineering, Virginia Tech, 1995, focus on flight dynamics and control. Real-time physics-based simulation of aircraft dynamics and subsystems, engineering and training on both fixed- and rotary-wing platforms. This includes pilot-, avionics- and flight hardware-in-the-loop, live and virtual simulations that support engineering analysis, handling qualities evaluation and research, aircrew training, flight control system design, accident investigation, and flight test risk reduction. Active, instrument-rated private pilot, and a licensed unmanned (SUAS) pilot.Avid outdoorsman, wilderness enthusiast and amateur ecologist. Volunteer time with youth (Scouts, school system) to build appreciation for nature, individual skills development, conservation, leadership, and outdoor ethics. Interested in remote sensing, aerospace (including unmanned), machine learning and large dataset analysis on environmental issues.Specialties: Aviation, Aircraft, Aircraft Systems, Simulation, Flight Control, Flight Test, Instrumentation, System ID, Autonomy, UAS, Physics-Based Modeling, Aerospace Engineering

Listed skills include Systems Engineering, Simulations, Aircraft, Avionics, and 27 others.
