What I'm looking for

I'm looking to move beyond government contracts into civilian enterprises, solving demanding customer problems through precise project planning, innovative communications solutions, and collaboration with like-minded educators.

At Naval Information Warfare Center Atlantic, I've led research, design, integration, and lifecycle management for UHF/VHF communications and SHF microwave transit systems, helping modernize outdated technologies through multi-million-dollar projects.

My background spans product ownership, lead project engineering, aerospace propulsion, and mechanical maintenance. I bring hands-on experience with RF and microwave design, project management, AutoCAD, documentation review, and on-site installations, along with a B.S. in Electrical Engineering from The Citadel.
