2006 - Present, Senior Analyst, Government Contractor, Kings Bay, GA

- Alteration Installation Team coordinator providing oversight of

government contractor maintenance and modernization performed on SSGN and

SSBN submarines.

- Supervised the self contained breathing apparatus fire fighting system

installation on the USS Wyoming. Coordinated the inside and outside

riggers, cranes, forklifts, submarine personnel, civil service supervisors

and the contractors to remove all original equipment and install the new

fire fighting equipment system throughout the submarine on time.

- Interfaced with and provided support as needed for: Submarine Commanding

Officers, 3M maintenance coordinators, Supply Officers, AIT contractors,

civil service maintenance shops, Configuration data managers, Naval

Supervising Authority, Life Cycle Managers, Validation Teams, and Type

Commander Personnel.

- Memorandum of Agreement Coordinator for Subase Kings Bay GA. Develop,

process and track to completion, all MOAs for Alteration Installation Teams

and Government Teams performing maintenance work on SSBN and SSGN

submarines.

2003 - 2005, Lead Instructor, Trident Training Facility, Kings Bay, GA

- Handpicked to supervise the ESM and periscope courses of instruction.

Provided 1200 hours of hands on technical instruction per student.

- Went beyond the operational course curriculum to teach students how to

perform system maintenance, troubleshooting and repair of the ESM system

and the Type 15L periscope system. Taught students how to use maintenance

documentation for troubleshooting.

- Instructed students how to perform RF signal analysis using system test

instrumentation. Taught students aural recognition of RF signals and how to

obtain PW, PRF, PRI, Frequency, Scan time, Scan type, and Signal strength.

- Evaluated submarine qualified technicians for procedural accuracy and

equipment knowledge. Provided feedback and training recommendations to the

ships Commanding Officer.

1999 - 2003, Maintenance Supervisor, USS Tennessee SSBN Gold, Kings Bay, GA

- Selected by the Commanding Officer to supervise and coordinate all

hydraulic, electronic and electrical maintenance work performed on all the

submarines masts and antennas.

- Planned and supervised the safe removal and installation of all masts and

antennas during an extended maintenance period.

- Coordinated 1700 man hours of antenna maintenance during two maintenance

periods.

- Consistently identified as the best antenna maintenance coordinator on

the waterfront.

- Volunteered to repair a mission critical communications system that had

been down for seven days. Utilized maintenance documentation and electronic

test instrumentation to perform component level troubleshooting. Repairs

were made by using components from another CCA and soldering them to the

faulty CCA. This system was tested and fully operational in two days.

- Periscope system developed a serious fault causing it to electrically

rotate by itself. Utilized system test procedures, maintenance

documentation, extender cards, oscilloscope, and a digital volt meter to

troubleshoot the problem to a faulty relay not carried onboard.

With the Commanding Officers permission rewired the system to allow for

operation in one direction until repair parts could be obtained.

- Performed soldering repairs to the periscope training handles, RF cables,

electrical cables, amphenol connectors and made electronic repairs to the

ships FURUNO radar system.

- Used QA test procedures to performed hydrostatic pressure testing of

AN/BRA-24 antenna assembly motor to verify system integrity under pressure.

Checked for current calibration of tools and gauges to perform the test.

- Used QA test procedures to perform system airblast tests to submarine

periscope hull glands to check for system integrity and water tightness.

1997 - 1999, Electronics Technician Supervisor, USS Billfish SSN 676,

Groton, CT

- Selected over two senior navigation division supervisors to supervise the

navigation division. Selected due to leadership ability.

- With no navigation background trained and cross qualified three different

job ratings into one .

- Supervised the shut down and removal of all ships classified

cryptographic equipment and cryptographic material with 100%

accountability.

- Troubleshot, repaired, and performed preventative maintenance to the

ELINT analysis system, radio direction finding system, direction finding

mast, TYPE-18 electronic periscope system, the ships radar mast system and

the commercial FURUNO radar navigation system.

- Used electronic test instrumentation such as signal generators, frequency

generators, gigatronix, TDR time domain reflectometer, spectrum analyzer,

huntron tracker, oscilloscope, digital volt meter, RF feed horns, gortex RF

test cables and RF sweep equipment.

- Engineered a way to obtain a ships navigational fix after both GPS

antennas had been damaged by ice keels during a collision.

1993 - 1997, Course Supervisor, Submarine Training Facility, San Diego, CA

- Selected to be course supervisor for the submarine dive trainer simulator

and diving officer classroom.

- Trained more than 300 midshipmen junior officers how to drive, submerge

and surface a submarine.

- Volunteered to troubleshoot and repair a faulty radar indicator for the

navigation team trainer. Troubleshot the problem to a bad circuit card

assembly and then solder repaired the circuit card which saved the command

$2000.00.

- Received a monetary award from the US Navy for making a beneficial

suggestion regarding the navigation team plotter. This saved each ship

$3000.00.

1990-1993, Electronic Repair Shop Supervisor, USS McKee AS-41, San Diego,

CA

- Supervised and trained 12 electronic maintenance technicians. Performed

troubleshooting and repairs to submarine electronic test equipment,

communications equipment, navigation equipment and electronic surveillance

equipment.

- Supervised the replacement of a faulty cable within the TYPE-18 periscope

diploop cable harness. Rather than purchasing an entire multi cable

assembly at a cost of $18,000, that would have taken a week to receive, the

diploops faulty cable was repaired by using a good cable from another

diploop assembly. The repaired diploop was reinstalled and tested within 3

hours allowing the submarine to meet its underway commitment and saving the

ship $18000.

- Performed radio frequency end to end system testing of electronic systems

using system test procedures, maintenance documentation and electronic

sweep instrumentation.
