Big missions start with simple conversations.

If the mission matters, the systems must too. I work with teams who understand that surviving space demands more than ambition — it demands discipline, resilience, and clear judgment from the start. Let’s connect.

Mission-Critical Systems. Delivered.
With two decades of experience designing, integrating, and leading complex spaceflight programs—from Shuttle to JWST to CLPS landers—I specialize in untangling technical complexity, aligning cross-functional teams, and keeping missions on track through uncertainty.
Whether you’re a startup pushing the boundaries of reentry or a prime contractor navigating tight government requirements, I bring hands-on experience and systems thinking to every phase of the mission.

Engagement Models
I offer flexible consulting arrangements tailored to your mission’s needs—whether you’re seeking short-term expertise or ongoing technical leadership.
Hourly Consulting
Ideal for focused support, design reviews, technical deep dives, or integration troubleshooting. Available remotely or with limited on-site support as needed.
Retainer Support
Best for teams that need steady guidance across development cycles, proposal planning, or customer interface. Retainers offer prioritized availability and seamless continuity.
Fractional Leadership
Scoped roles for projects requiring high-accountability technical ownership—such as mission integration, system readiness, or customer delivery. Combines remote collaboration with strategic on-site involvement when appropriate.
Experience That Delivers
I’ve launched 22 Space Shuttle missions, led integration for NASA’s Ares I-X prototype, and helped architect and test the release systems that unfolded the James Webb Space Telescope. I’ve served as lead EPS and avionics architect on commercial lunar landers, bridging the gap between legacy flight heritage and bleeding-edge space tech.
But what truly sets me apart is the ability to build trust—between engineers, executives, and customers—so the mission moves forward, no matter how complex.
