Work Experience:

Materials Research Engineer, Naval Research Laboratory Washington, DC

I conducted research and analysis into various materials and their properties, specifically related to corrosion, as

required by the US Navy. Extensive experience with nickel-based and aluminum 5XXX series alloys. This

analysis included common ASTM standardized testing with emphasis on the G67 mass-loss test for Al 5XXX

series alloys. I participated in material performance methods including, but not limited to, slow-strain rate,

tensile, shear, torque-tension, hardness, eddy-current, and fatigue testing. This often required participating in

design, development, and construction of specific test apparatuses and techniques needed to achieve accurate

test methods for a particular materials specimen and test environment. I was responsible for contributing to

collaborative research efforts through the writing and preparing of reports that presented particular test results.

This often included fracture mechanics calculations as well as other calculations based upon particular test

requirements. I participated in failure analysis techniques of material specimens using SEM and other

techniques. This included grain and grain boundary analysis, and the determination of material failure modes

and failure locations for a specific materials specimen. I participated in research on the interstitial hardening of

surfaces of various stainless steel alloys. I performed oversight of novel amorphous coating applications that

implement thermal spray application technologies. (Mar 2009 to September 2012)

Materials Research Engineer, Naval Research Laboratory San Diego, CA

I was responsible for monitoring quality assurance and quality control procedures of tasks directly related to surface preparation, coatings

application, and final preservation in accordance with both the United States Navy’s standards/specifications and currently accepted

professional and/or international guidelines and recommendations. Communicated with NAVSEA, NRL, ship’s force, and contractors

both in writing and orally to ensure a solid programmatic direction for all duties related to preservation and inspection procedures. These

duties were performed during my role as NAVSEA Preservation Team Initiative Government QA Inspector. This included auditing on-

site inspection checkpoints performed by the contractor by interacting with the contractor’s NACE Certified Coatings Inspector.

Essential duties as the NAVSEA Government QA Inspector were to observe, document, and report all data associated with each

inspection checkpoint. This often included writing Discrepancy Reports (DRs) when results did not meet industry accepted

specifications. Nature of the discrepancy, re-work, and suggested corrective action were forwarded to the contractor onsite as part of the

Discrepancy Report. Discrepancies included a lack of preservation quality, planning, scheduling and in-process inspection results

(production rate related issues). These preservation inspections were accomplished aboard more than fifty (50) different US Navy

vessels. Ship classes included but not limited to CVN, SSN, CG, DDG, DD, FFG, LHA, LHD, LPD, LSD as well as amphibious/support

crafts (i.e. PC, ASDV, LCU, and TWR). I supported demonstrations of new technologies onsite as a NRL point-of contact for these

projects. My demo experience included installation & monitoring of the in-situ corrosion sensor for tanks, process review and

recommendations for further research and development of the ISIS coating inspection technology, and application inspection and testing

of rapid-cure and other new technology coatings. This position experienced a permanent change of station to Washington, DC in March

of 2009. (Dec 2000 to Mar 2009, July 2000 to Nov 2000 – US Naval Research Laboratory Government Civilian, Government Contractor/GEO-

CENTERS)

Corrosion Engineer, DACCO SCI, INC. Columbia, MD

I performed many different duties while fulfilling a dual role as a research & development test engineer in a

laboratory environment and as a field engineer on-site. I performed design & assessment of various corrosion

protection schemes including protection systems for underground pipelines, tanks, and pilings, sub-surface

seawater structures, and mass transit systems and equipment. Consulted in materials evaluation, engineering,

failure analysis and prevention and developed extensive experience with various corrosion prevention schemes

including paint and coating specifications, corrosion protection, alloy selection, and use of corrosion inhibitors.

Developed test planning and cost analysis for contract bids. I performed chemical analysis and environmental

assessments of soil, groundwater, potable water, wastewater, sediment, heavy metals, and organic studies. I

determined tank and pipeline integrity by surface evaluation and leak detection. I worked on both field and

laboratory studies including pipeline testing, toxic/hazardous waste monitoring, sampling and analysis. I

prepared and completed many technical reports to be presented by company owner to clients. This reporting

included performance of all engineering and other required duties on site, recording of all pertinent data, and

finally preparing final reports in a cohesive and organized manner. Many of these reports summarized jobs

completed over a number of years. Specific examples include reporting on the corrosion protection installation

during the construction of the Fullerton Water Pumping Station and of segments of the Light Rail into BWI.

Final testing of the corrosion protection systems upon completion of these large construction projects was

included and an analysis of the results was presented. (Feb 1997 to June 2000)
