**********@***.***
I am an accomplished electrical engineer with twenty-three years of nuclear and fossil power plant
experience, which includes twelve years in supervisory and management roles. My oversight
experience includes electrical, mechanical, and civil engineers in plant systems and production, as
well as predictive maintenance technicians, focusing on improving equipment reliability and
efficiency. I have extensive experience with oversight of in-plant modifications for a variety of
applications, and am a registered Professional Electrical Engineer in the State of Indiana.
EXPERIENCE:
1/2012 – 8/2013 Cook Nuclear Plant – Fukushima Regulatory Response Project Lead
Responsible for the oversight and implementation of the regulatory aspects and the engineering analysis resulting from the
events at Fukushima Daiichi, as well as DC Cook’s representative on the NEI Fukushima Regulatory Response Working
Group. As the Project Manager, I own all of the contracts associated with this project including all of the budgetary
aspects.
Successful on-time responses to all INPO IER letters (11-1, 11-2, 11-4, and 11-1 Supplement 1) with acceptable or better
scores through our Corrective Action Review Board (CARB). Actions from these letters are managed by my team to
ensure that they remain on track, and also that any actions prescribed do not conflict with future regulatory
requirements
Managed the responses to regulatory requests for information via 10CFR50.54(f) and regulatory orders in respect to seismic
and flooding walkdowns and reanalysis; emergency preparedness assessments; spent fuel pool instrumentation; and
diverse mitigating strategies (FLEX). All responses have been made on time or early, with minimal requests for
additional information
Managed concurrent seismic & flooding walkdowns, completed with no safety or human performance events, and well under
radiological dose predictions. Industry OE, as well as careful planning up front, allowed us to achieve these goals.
Led the development and implementation of the FLEX plan strategies for DC Cook, including coordination of associated
analyses, modifications, and programmatic aspects for the strategy
Lead for Utilities Services Alliance (USA) fleet plants for implementation of spent fuel pool level instrumentation. This effort
is resulting in a reduction of costs to the fleet by allowing for one vendor to provide general designs applicable to all
plants, and reduce overall inventory for spare parts
Project Manager for replacement of all reactor cooling pump (RCP) seals with low-leakage seals. Held vendor accountable
when schedule slipped due to testing issues, conducted weekly meetings to ensure team was on track and would still
meet plant outage milestones
Routine Senior Leadership Team updates to the CNO and Site VPs as to progress and challenges with overall project
Cook Nuclear Plant – Manager, System and Production Engineering
7/2010 – 1/2012
Manager for 48 system and production engineers. Responsibilities included oversight of plant improvement efforts, failure
investigation teams, and department budget. Part of this included working closely with Operations, Maintenance, and
Work Control to accomplish equipment reliability objectives. During plant refueling outages I was also an Issue Manager
and Engineering Outage Manager. Accomplishments included:
Developed and implemented an Adverse Equipment List, providing a single point for plant management to focus on potential
trends for components and schedule corrective work activities
Met all outage milestones for scope determination and minor modification development
Improved online work control indicators for engineering by placing a priority on critical equipment issues and rejecting any
“short-cycle” requests on non-critical equipment changes
Defined system manager responsibilities, communicated to plant management
Cook Nuclear Plant – Manager, Plant Electrical Engineering
7/2009 – 7/2010
Manager for 29 electrical and I&C system and production engineers. My responsibilities included oversight of plant
improvement efforts, failure investigation teams, and department budget. Part of this included working closely with
Operations, Maintenance, and Work Control to accomplish equipment reliability objectives. During plant refueling outages
I was also an Issue Manager and Engineering Outage Manager.
