To use my project management and risk monitoring skills developed throughout my career in high technology industries to transition a small company into an efficient, successful enterprise.
Efficient process engineering and improvement is paramount in the difficulties encountered during business growth. My experience in the Defense, Commercial and Aerospace industries provides a diverse
and comprehensive knowledge of Project Initiation, H/W and S/W Engineering Processes, Project and Risk Management techniques and Personnel management. I have managed small projects (<$10M) over the
course of the last 10 years for customers such as the Dep't of Defense, NASA and MIT—repeatedly atreduced costs and schedule times.

I played an instrumental role in the
development of high-end imaging devices
manufactured for the aerospace and defense
industries by Ball Aerospace and ITT
Geospatial Designs. Managing teams, I led the
design of software, hardware and mechanical
engineering requirements for products used in
space-based products.
* Completing multi-million dollar projects on-
time or ahead of schedule
* Identifying and correcting sources of
product failures, allowing continued client
shipments
* Outfitting labs and clean rooms needed for
product R & D and production
* Retrofitting high value machines with modern
parts, increasing profitability
I am a Certified Project Management
Professional by the Project Management
Institute and am a Compliance Management
Professional by the Association of Risk and
Compliance Management. I continually improve
engineering processes applying quality
methods. My AA degree in Digital Electronics
is from Pima College.
