Experience

1. Lead Associate

   Booz Allen Hamilton

   Jan 2005 — Present · Cape Canaveral, FL, US

   I\'m the local Booz Allen lead for the Cape Canaveral office. Our local office is as large as it has been since opening a few years before my first days with Booz Allen, currently at 36 staff. I manage a small contract effort focused on pressure vessel mechanical integrity, in a subcontractor role, with all of the work provided to the 45th Space Wing, Patrick AFB FL. I\'m also the System Safety Manager (SSM) and ESOH Manager to the Launch Test Range System (LTRS) program, aligning with the Range and Networks Directorate (RN), Space and Missile Systems Center (SMC). Along with support to the Air Force in space and range systems, mainly focus in operations and safety, my other client work has supported NRO, NASA, and Navy clients. Prior to joining Booz Allen, I was in the Air Force for approximately 25 years. I spent a little over 19 years in ICBM operations in a variety of jobs ranging at wing, air division, MAJCOM and joint positions. The last 6 years of my career were in space launch operations, as the Commander, 45th Range Squadron and the Chief of Safety, 45th Space Wing.
