_________________________________SUMMARY___________________________________
I left the space program in 2012 after 28 years as a rocket scientist to devote myself to the ministry. I am semi-retired, seeking part time or temporary opportunities and I am willing to travel. I am the world’s expert in a few niches and have a lifetime of experience on which to draw for anything related to science, engineering, proposal preparation, failure analyses, public relations, and expert witness testimony.
