Actively engaged in all maritime environmental efforts including: emissions analysis and abatement technology development, efficiency optimization measures, alternative energy applications, ballast water treatment, and environmental compliance. Provide conceptual, preliminary and detailed engineering design, analysis, and advanced technology development for shipboard and shoreside projects. Additional responsibilities include assessing the performance of power plant and auxiliary machinery, system performance evaluations and audits, efficiency analyses, specific fuel consumption calculations, and material condition assessments.

Managed, coordinated logistics, and provided engineering for land-based evaluations of 7 ballast water management systems and 3 ballast water specific filtration units to the International guidelines. Provided technical requirements and engineering for a multipurpose ballast water management test facility on a mobile platform to both International and U.S. guidelines and proposed regulations.

Provided analyzes, assessments, and preliminary designs for environmental compliance and stewardship in the maritime industry. Developed and managed the American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) document "Guide for Ballast Water Treatment (BWT)," (released November 2011) for the use of designers, builders, owners and operators of vessels and specifies the requirement for obtaining the optional classification notation (BWT) and classification notation (BWT+) signifying compliance with International standards and guidelines.

Responsibilities, as a consultant with Seaworthy Systems, Inc. (SSI), have covered a wide range of engineering and economic services for both government and private clients in the marine and shoreside power production industries. The following list highlights significant responsibilities while at SSI. Provided main propulsion, auxiliary, HVAC, and electrical system design, analysis, and equipment selection, during the design of three coastal tankers under contract for $90 million and onsite at a German shipyard for a €38 million vessel conversion. Provided engineering support, complete statistical analysis, multiple chapters, and final edit of a high profile $6 million technology study that first employed certain emissions control technologies onboard ships. Oversaw all engineering aspects of an innovative ballast water treatment technology installed onboard two vessels to meet current state and proposed international regulations. Provided a conceptual engineering and economic analysis for the reduction of steamship emissions, as well as multiple emissions studies for specific power plants and entire fleets. Completed numerous engineering and economic feasibility studies, conceptual designs, and interactive optimization computer programs for the implementation of alternative energy technologies onboard ships. One design framework employing various emissions reduction and alternative energy technologies for a fleet of vessels was highly influential in a client receiving a $500 million contract. Provided engineering and operational support for the design, construction, and operation of gas turbine power augmentation technologies utilizing wet compression and evaporative cooling. Assessed the performance of power plant and auxiliary machinery, system performance evaluations and audits, efficiency analyses, specific fuel consumption calculations, and material condition assessments, for the Department of the Navy’s Military Sealift Command. Engineering peer review of a proposed crude oil shipping pier utilizing current technology to decrease emissions, shipboard solid waste assessments and selection of remedial technologies, energy conservation computer programs, power plant and machinery criticality studies, and shipboard life extension analyses.

Development of a literature review and annotated bibliography pertaining to sediment toxicity research focused on the sediment ingestion pathway as a source of toxicity. Identified an experimental approach to study contaminant bioavailability and toxicity during sediment ingestion.

Primarily responsible for design and business assistance of ballast water treatment systems. Additional responsibilities included modifications, improvements, operation, and maintenance of the pilot scale Venturi Oxygen StrippingTM system. Ran systematic experiments and tests to determine the effectiveness of the ballast water treatment and tank protection technology. Assisted in the first shipboard installation, 11/04.

Responsible for numerous multi-media applications including drafting, rendering, and formatting architectural and engineering materials for commercial buildings. Additional responsibilities included data collection and sales proposal development, organization, and distribution.
