I have recently been assigned to the Boeing oversight group. In that capacity I have been made lead for the new 737-10 and for the airframe, I am also lead for the 737-7 and -8 ECS, bleed air, equipment cooling, smoke evacuation, icing, and oxygen systems. I am also helping the cabin safety group with their cabin interiors. Prior to that, I have worked in the Aircraft Certification Office and the Delegation System Oversight Office as an Aircraft Certification Engineer with experience involving airframe structures, mechanical systems, aerodynamics, cabin safety, flammability, cockpit door ballistic reinforcement, and Organizational Delegation Authority (ODA) oversight. I have been an organizational management team (OMT) Lead and Team member for several ODAs and DASs over the years. I was an advisor to over 30 Designated Engineering Representatives (DERs) in multiple disciplines. I also have taught the Systems Engineering Job Function class at the FAA academy in Oklahoma City. I have helped to write Orders, Advisory Circulars, TSO requirements, and helped to develop cabin safety policy. And I am one of the national focals helping companies setup their system to work solely with electronic data without the need for paper.
