SUMMARY
Over 25 years experience managing logistics technical projects and leading logistics technical proposal teams in winning competitive proposals. Originated concept and developed prototype for reliability trending database; precursor to parts obsolescence forecasting tool. Developed and presented a basic reliability engineering series for the GPS program. Created novel methodology for levying military requirements on contracts without referencing military specifications and standards.
Published Joint Reliability and Maintainability Testing Handbook for space and missile center test scoring activities. Utilized modeling and simulations tools for acceptance testing on new systems. Performed a manual failure modes analysis of UHF beacon assembly to detect premature firing problem.

DUCOM Inc., Program Manager/Staff Analyst, (2004 –
present)
Providing logistics and technical support to the GPS Director of Logistics for the Modernized User Equipment (MUE), Selective Availability and Anti-Spoofing Module (SAASM), and Diminishing Manufacturing and Material Shortages (DMSMS) programs.
Develop logistics requirements for request for proposal (RFP) for MUE. Review and provide analyses for newly designed key data processor for SAASM. Represent Director of Logistics at DMSMS meetings and Engineering Review Boards (ERB). Provide R&M functional support as required.
ARINC Inc., Principal Staff Analyst, (1985 – 2003)
Managed a staff of technical analysts who supported the acquisition and sustainment of modernized GPS satellites and associated user and control segments. Provided direct support for the Launch Anomaly and Disposal Operations (LADO) system and GPS III. Monitored competing contractors in R&D efforts to design the next generation of GPS equipment to include all segments (space, control, and user). Developed the reliability and maintainability requirements and performed reliability analyses utilizing modeling and simulation tools. Designed reliability tests and incentive program for legacy GPS UE. Published the original GPS Reliability and Maintainability Management Plan (RMMP), the single source of GPS user equipment R&M indices at SMC. Charter member of the GPS Joint R&M Evaluation team (JRMET) and the GPS DMSMS Integrated Product Team.
ARINC Inc., Principal Analyst, (1983 – 1985)
Provided reliability engineering and technical support to the U.S. navy for various systems including the Torpedo Mk 46, the Mk 540 Torpedo Systems Test Set, and the Close-In Weapons System (CIWS) Phalanx and other naval communication systems. Analyzed engineering technical data packages and performed component engineering analysis of parts and assemblies to determine which items would not be procurable in the next 5 to 10 years and recommended suitable substitutes.
Fairchild Semiconductors, Senior Reliability
Engineer, (1976 – 1983)
Performed reliability engineering for new product qualifications. Qualified products in accordance with specification requirements for environmental, mechanical, and life tests. Conducted reliability Assurance Monitor (RAM) testing on a sample basis on all production lots to determine lot utilization. Supervised failure analysis technicians performing diode and transistor analyses.
