I graduated from the University of Virginia in May 1976 with a BS in Systems Engineering. I started working at McDonnell Douglas in St. Louis in June 1976, and worked there for a few years, as a Cost Estimator on the Tomahawk cruise missile program, and received an MBA from the University of Missouri-St. Louis. I hired in to the Space Center on July 13, 1981, with Rockwell International as a systems engineer in the Launch Accessories/ECS/PVD engineering group, under John Hagood and Larry Connell. I transitioned to Lockheed Space Operations Company in February 1984 and stayed with Lockheed, in engineering, until I hired on with NASA in the S&MA Directorate on August 15, 1988. I have been with S&MA ever since. I supported Shuttle Processing from an S&MA point of view, as Bob Lang requested I closely follow what was going on in the Engineering world of shuttle processing. I was also the KSC Lifting Devices and Equipment Manager, and did that for over 32 years. I retired in 2022.
