OBJECTIVE: As a senior technologist for computer systems, I have provided Program and Project Management and led high level technical teams. I am most successful when I combine management with technology leadership in solving "hard" problems by generating and delivering creative technical solutions. I have successfully built systems from proposal generation to requirements elicitation through supporting deployed prototypes in the field

My experience has been successful in covering a gamut of roles from successfully preparing proposals totaling over $50 million awarded by the intelligence community, as well as the US and foreign military. Upon award, I have acted to manage the projects and programs to successful technical and business conclusions. I have led successful teams in diverse areas including computer graphics and visualization for military and intelligence missions; High Performance Computing in support of SIGINT; simulation and virtual reality for training;, and, research across the computer science spectrum.


I can bring this level of achievement to support my new employer’s business success.
