ANALYTICAL SKILLS
My professional background has involved the analysis of complex signal environments, including oceanography, ecology, climatology, sonar (active/passive), electronic (active/passive), microwave (active/passive), ultrasound and electromagnetic field effects. My general approach was characterized by John Tukey: not so much finding a needle in a haystack as finding a needle in a junk yard. Then knowing what to do with the information. Advances have included the detection, identification, analysis and tracking of new, unrecognized features at very low signal-to-noise ratios - a common problem across many fields.

EXPERIENCE
I have conceived, designed, developed, tested and implemented novel ideas in a number of areas, including: Ecology, Oceanography, Climatology, SIGINT, ESM, ELINT, SONAR, RADAR, Cardiology, Oncology, Communications, Passive Electromagnetic technology for Search and Rescue and Vvisualization. In each or these areas I have developed novel approaches which expand the knowledge-base of these fields, and hold patents in many.

MARKETING
In my professional life I have found it’s important to describe simple solutions to complex problems at all levels of academia, government and industry; including Admirals, VPs, CEOs, MTSs, graduate-, undergraduate-, high-, grade school- students. I mention the range of audiences as they have one thing in common: the ability to (re)experience a “sense of wonder,” for then they emotionally own the concept. Simple ideas from complex subjects.

ACHIEVEMENTS
My professional writings, presentations and visualizations illustrate a skill for the communication of complex ideas through simple illustrations. My presentations, publications, papers and patents bring clarity to the professional.

INTRAPENEURSHIP
I have found that in business there are opportunities for a company to excel. Taking the road less travelled often results in new directions beneficial to the organization and colleagues alike.
