The Penn State Alumni Association

What’s been happening:

Following graduation in 1977, I took an engineering position with the Westinghouse Electric Corporation in Baltimore, Maryland developing radar systems for the USAF F-16 Fighting Falcon. I have stayed with this organization for the past thirty-two years, even through the transition to become part of the Northrop Grumman Corporation. I have had the pleasure to work with extremely smart and talented individuals from around the world developing some of the most technologically sophisticated airborne, ground based, space based, and undersea electronic sensor systems. I am currently the manager of the System Supportability Engineering department comprised of forty-five individuals performing Reliability, Maintainability, System Safety, Human Factors, and Human-System Integration engineering functions. I have also had the pleasure of traveling throughout much of the US, Europe, the Middle East, and the Caribbean. I have been married for the past nineteen years to a wonderful woman named Diane, and currently reside in Columbia, Maryland. We have no children, but we do have three animated Bichon Frises named Maggie, Molly, and Maxwell. I am pleased to state that my Penn State University education has served me well both personally and professionally over these many years. My one regret is that I did not keep in closer touch with many of my college colleagues following graduation.
