Government service leader for North America, General Electric
My Greatest Accomplishment
Delivering the U.S. Navy’s next-generation guided-missile destroyer, the U.S.S. Zumwalt (DDG 1000). I had the privilege of leading and working with the best engineers, scientists and acquisition professionals on the most complex technical systems ever installed on a Navy ship. I am privileged to continue to support the U.S. Navy as the General Electric government service leader for North America.
How Drexel Helped
Drexel instilled in me the value of hard work and persistence and encouraged the importance of being well rounded. The curriculum and the co-op program gave me the foundation to succeed in supporting the U.S. Navy. As a resident assistant, a Newman Center leadership council member and a chorus/chamber singer, I balanced my real-world engineering education with diverse campus experiences.
Where I’ll Be In Five Years
Transitioning from my Navy civilian career to General Electric, I am excited to be at home with my family in Houston, Texas, and be a proactive father and husband. Professionally, I look forward to continuing to lead, support and grow the General Electric government business domestically and globally. I aspire to reach the executive level while maintaining a balance between my family and career.
