I am a Systems Engineer and an experienced programmer. I am especially skilled at determining systems requirements, flowing those requirements down to a design, and then implementing that design, while continuing to manage the requirements to meet the customer’s needs.
I was born and raised in Los Alamos, NM, and worked there, at the National Lab, and at the Air Force Weapons Lab in Albuquerque during college while working towards my Bachelor of Physics degree.
I have held a variety of Systems Engineering jobs , mostly in the Aerospace and Defense Industry on military contracts. I spent ten years at LORAL as an Electro-Optics Systems Engineer, designing and field testing advanced LADAR systems. While at Loral I also developed simulation software. At Texas Instruments, I had formal training in the Systems Engineering process and was the Project Engineer for a LADAR program. While at Allied Signal, I worked on a software development team in a ISO 9000/9001 environment. I designed and implemented object oriented code for the vertical navigation for a Flight Management System to FAA standards.
In 2002, I moved to Garden City after my wife finished her general surgery residency. I performed medical billing and coding, accounting, payroll, network administration, and benefits administration for my wife’s general surgical practice. Please see my resume for additional information on my experience. I am currently a graduate student, enrolled in the Master of Engineering Program in the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering at Arizona State University .
