ACCOMPLISHMENTS
. Assigned the forensic evaluation of Pearl River Community College.
College consisted of three campuses and 41 total buildings. Most
buildings were built in the early 1900s. Buildings were damaged very
badly. Directed and oversaw activities of other structural and
mechanical engineers assisting in evaluation of the campuses.
Performed the electrical evaluations and documented them. (Project
Time & Cost)
. Determined the cause and origin of damages caused by various events;
flood, rain, wind, electrical arcs, electrical device faults, circuit
board failure, lightning, etc. (GC Rogers)
. Testified in trials following hurricane Katrina representing Insurance
Companies (PT&C)
. Developed test protocols, set up, ran, and documented test results.
(Duke Energy)
. Have my CFEI and have determined the origin and cause of numerous
fires using arc mapping.(GC Rogers)
. While working at Catawba Nuclear Station, summoned on New Year's Day
in the year 2000 to investigate the cause of one of a reactors
tripping. Being the year 2000 our reactor trip was getting national
attention. Using the failed component, reconstructed the electrical
layout and after numerous attempts at reporting the failure,
determined that the trip was caused by a faulty part in the failed
relay. It was a manufacturer's mistake and had nothing to do with the
year 2000. (Duke Energy)
. Oversaw the installation of new Operator's Aid Computers (OACs) and
Plant Computer Security Systems (PCSSs) at all nuclear stations
simultaneously. Had a limited number of resources to distribute at
each station supporting installation and start-up. Supported both the
IT hardware and software conducting a phone conference with each
station's IT Manager daily getting an up-date of their progress
completing installations on time and within budget. (Duke Energy)
. Supervised a team of mechanical, electrical, and civil engineers while
working at Catawba Nuclear Station who performed Equipment
Qualification testing (EC) of instrumentation used in harsh
environments in our plant. (Duke Energy)
. Designed and planned implementation of modifications to our operating
plant. I had final review and approval of the modification packages.
(Duke Energy)
. Worked on the restoration of Georgetown Hospital on Grand Cayman
Island, BWI. Had to remove and replace damaged wall, flooring,
structural, and electrical systems. Personally evaluated and
supervised the

electrical restoration activities. (Interstate Restoration Group)
. Identified a potential failure of the underground cable routed to the
operating room and other critical facilities. While preparing the
engineering justification the cable exploded. The replacement was then
approved by the insurance carrier. Increasing profits over $750,000.
(Interstate Restoration Group)
. Working at Catawba Nuclear Station was a supervisor in the
Instrumentation and Control (I&C) Engineering section of the plant.
We were considering upgrading an alarm system from pneumatic to
electronic. A disagreement occurred between groups on what to
purchase and install. The vendor they requested was less expensive
and required less maintenance, but the product wanted was a little
more expensive and required more maintenance. Made a presentation to
station management on what we considered was the best. My group won
because regardless of the extra expense, the track history of product
showed a longer life expectancy. (Duke Energy)
