OBJECTIVE I am interested in assignments where I can apply my extensive experience as a structural analysis manager and integrated product development team leader encompassing 38 years in the field of both manned and unmanned aircraft. I am comfortable providing support as an individual contributor or as part of an integrated product team. This support may be for developing or evaluating advanced designs, proposal preparation, or program definition. I prefer part-time work: three to four days a week.
