EXPERIENCE

Oct 2009-Present GS-14 step 7 to 10

U.S. ARMY ENGINEER RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT CENTER, CHAMPAIGN IL Research Mechanical Engineer • Focused on application research for renewable energy projects on Army installations,

having been published numerous times in publications including the Army Public Works Digest and presented at conferences and training symposia including GovEnergy, SOLTECH, the Army Energy Security and Independence Conference (2006) and the Energy Utility and Environment Conference (EUEC) in 2011 and 2012.

• Demonstrating a patented High Efficiency Dehumidification System at Tinker AFB and Fort Bragg under the Environmental Security Technology Certification Program (ESTCP).

• Implementing an energy feasibility analysis for the Information Technology Laboratory of the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center in Vicksburg, Mississippi.

• Demonstrated a solar air to hot water integrated roofing system at Fort Meade, Maryland as a part of an (ESTCP) project.

• In 2015 conducted the vulnerability analysis and mitigation strategy for the $200 million contract that was awarded 10 Sept 2015 to expand the Afghanistan electrical transmission grid and bring power to the Afghanistan military and national police bases.

• Volunteered to be the Task Force POWER Branch Chief and Title 10 Operational Energy Program Manager in the Joint Engineers of the United States Forces – Afghanistan (USFOR-A) at Bagram Airfield Afghanistan from 29 Jan to 28 Sept 2016. Was responsible for the four prime power plants (56 Megawatts to 5 Megawatts), the electrical inspection and repair; fire safety, and operational energy for all U.S. joint bases in Afghanistan. Lacking an operational energy staff personally conducted a one week site visit to Contingency Location Dwyer in the middle of Helmand Province to line out energy efficiency projects to offset the fuel cost of $0.58 per kilowatt-hour.

• Volunteered to be the Operational Energy Program Manager at Bagram Airfield, Afghanistan from 13 April to 18 Sept 2013. While there led a team from the Department of Energy (two from Sandia National Laboratories and two from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory) plus other local operational energy managers to do a full baseline energy efficiency and energy security survey of Bagram Airfield which has about 10 million SF of buildings and a population (at that time) of 31,000. This is the third busiest single runway airfield in the world.

• Volunteered to be the Operational Energy Manager at Bagram Airfield, Afghanistan from 26 May to 4 Nov 2012. While there developed $25M in projects that would save $50M annually in energy costs. Projects included advanced ceramic insulations, lighting, vestibules, solar air to hot water systems, mobile Photovoltaic powered light carts, and waste oil heaters. Calculated the total cost of annual energy at $286.6M.

• Conducted a two week (23 Apr to 5 May 2011) field survey in Afghanistan for various options for efficiency and renewable energy for the Afghanistan National Security University (ANSU). The energy efficiency technologies included lighting, insulation and windows. The renewable energy technologies included Photovoltaics, solar domestic hot water, solar air transpired collectors (Solarwall), daylighting, wind turbines, waste to energy, and biogas to energy.

May 2008-Sept 2009 GS-14 step 5 to 6

HQ ARMY OFFICE OF THE ASSISTANT CHIEF OF STAFF FOR INSTALLATION MANAGEMENT Senior Energy Engineer • Managed the policy for the Army renewable energy program and Net Zero Energy

Installation program • Was back up to the policy manager for the Army Energy Conservation Investment

Program (ECIP) and the manager for the Army Alternative funding energy program (Energy Savings Performance Contracts and Utilities Energy Services Contracts)

• Member of the 2009 GovEnergy planning committee, initiated and chaired the advanced roofing and insulation technologies track.

Oct 1992-Apr 2008 GS-12 step 3 to 10

ENERGY & WATER MANAGEMENT OFFICE, FORT HUACHUCA, AZ Energy Coordinator & Utilities Sales Officer • Lead Fort Huachuca to meet or exceed the energy reduction goals for 15 straight years

(FY93-FY07). • Involved in the development of an Energy Savings Performance Contract that included

both conventional energy efficiency measures and renewable energy systems to include daylighting, transpired air solar collectors, repair of a grid connected PhotoVoltaic (PV) system and advanced solar reflective ceramic insulations.

• Responsible for installation and repair of multiple renewable systems including a 5 kW three phase grid connected PV system, a 10 kW wind turbine, and 450 day-lighting units in 23 buildings.

• Successfully reduced water consumption by 70% from FY 93 to FY 08. • Led Fort Huachuca to receive multiple water, energy efficiency and renewable energy

awards (four Army, eight Federal, and two Presidential energy). • Was the Fort Huachuca representative on the Southeast Arizona electrical transmission

capacity study. • Conducted a wind study that culminated in a project to install a 1 MW wind turbine.

Dec 2003 – Dec 2004 LTC U.S. Army

US ARMY 2ND MEDICAL BRIGADE Brigade Engineer • Activated from the reserves for duty for the Army in Iraq for 10 months in 2004. • Achieved significant fuel reductions for generators in two locations by installing ceramic

insulation on Brigade buildings in Green Zone of Baghdad, and installing radiant vestibule liners in temper tents for hospital units in Mosul and Tikrit.
