Professional Experience
PSEG Nuclear, Hancock’s Bridge NJ
January 2013 – Present
Lead Nuclear Engineer (Level 3 of 6)
 Responsible systems included: Reverse Osmosis and Water Purity, Air Compressors/Dryers,
Fire Protection and Carbon Dioxide systems, HVAC, Boilers, Domestic Water Supply,
Radioactive Waste Treatment
 Optimized the preventative maintenance strategies for assigned systems to reduce emergent
costs and necessary manpower due to equipment failures
 Spearheaded completion of corrective maintenance for long standing equipment issues that
has reduced failure rates
 Volunteered to be the work management representative for group and recognized by senior
leadership as an expert in the engineer role for the long range work planning and scheduling
process.
 Identified and drove the replacement of obsolete and undersized equipment prior to failure to
ensure that the company did not waste emergent resources
 Proactively identified and championed actions to correct system parameter deviations that
would have adversely plant operation if the trend continued
 Lead a diverse team of engineers, maintenance, and operations personnel on troubleshooting
teams by providing the technical experience needed to resolve plant health issues
 Independently identified issues with proposed logic changes by outside vendors that would
have placed the unit at risk if implemented as proposed.
 Requested and attended technical training on rotary compressors, air dryers, and thermal
performance monitoring to better understand industry best practices for these items
General Dynamics Electric Boat, New London CT
June 2011- January 2013
Engineer II (Component Engineer)
 Designed an ion exchanger system to be used on the Ohio Replacement class of US Navy
submarines.
 Completed the initial development of the procurement specification for the main surface
condenser (400+pages) used on the Ohio Replacement class of submarine ahead of schedule
to support detailed design
 Took initiative to request additional ion exchange training to support development
calculations needed to size the unit with the end result being a detailed calculation detailing
the sizing requirements needed to support development that required limited review prior to
approval
