Sir,
In anticipation that the delineated qualifications will meet requirements you may have for specific expertise I am providing the attached resume. I believe you will find that it demonstrates a record of performance, enthusiasm, experience and accomplishment that merits consideration for the requirement you are currently seeking to fill. I have successful experience in requirements definition and tracking, engineering, integration management, program and personnel management, and marketing. I have extensive experience in Naval operations and communications as well as the design, implementation, training and operation of communications and combat systems including the computers which are the heart of these systems. I am proficient in the use of management software and have used most current applications programs including DOORS. I have designed and installed local areas networks as well as built and trouble shot computers I have managed the design of Classified distributed networks including the Information Assurance and SSAA aspects of that program.
I have extensive and successful experience in Naval operations, Navy and Marine Corps communications, command and control and intelligence as well as the design, implementation, validation and verification, training and operation of communications and combat systems including the computers, interfaces and communications protocols which are critical to the integration of these systems. I also have extensive recent experience in the Information Assurance and the relatively new area of Anti-tamper (AT) requirements implementation. I have successfully completed management of two contracts, on time and under budget, providing information technology support products to Dahlgren Division organizations. These Programs included the design and implementation planning of a classified Metropolitan Area Network. This network was designed to provide classified information distribution throughout a geographically distributed base of over 50 square miles. My combined information systems knowledge, engineering expertise, and project management experience provided significantly to the successful execution of these contracts.
My career has involved significant highlights of which I am particularly proud. Listed below are several:
1. I performed initial design and trade off studies for the Zumwalt class next generation destroyer command, control, communications and intelligence systems to assess integration, intelligence utilization, security and throughput issues. Through detailed design requirements analysis I identified numerous design issues and deficiencies. I developed recommendations for engineering solutions and conducted resolution liaison with senior government and industry decision making personnel involved in initial system development. I coordinated intelligence data flow integration assessments between on board and off board sensors and communication systems and engineering coordination between the respective management organizations. I was appointed as prime point of contact for technical integration activities with the intelligence community.
2. I performed design, coordination, requirements verification, trade off evaluation and accreditation coordination for a major classified metropolitan network for Dahlgren Base. Developed the SSAA documentation necessary for system approval.
3. Establishment of the submarine maintenance capability at La Magdalena in the Mediterranean Sea under my management;
4. Establishment of the submarine support department for Submarine Group Eight in charge of all US submarine support in the Mediterranean Sea under my direction;
5. Initial planning and implementation of conversion efforts for the USS Vanguard as a navigation research ship for strategic navigation under my management;
6. I was in charge of the Tiger teams responsible for planning and executing deployed conversion of SSBNs from Poseidon to Trident navigation systems.
7. As a subcontract program manager I was chosen by the EG&G program manager to be in charge of team competition efforts for the incumbent EG&G team in its campaign for the follow on completion of BSY-2 SE&I contract.
8. I acted as principle negotiator for Henschel Corporation in negotiations with Government of Korea.
9. I was primary contributor in preparation of advanced planning considerations for Homeland Defense to be considered by then Governor Ridge
I appreciate your consideration of the information I am providing and look forward to discussing with you how I might be able to contribute to your program success.
