CAREER SUMMARY
I have participated in all phases of design and operations from pre-FEED through detailed design of numerous offshore structures and project engineering and management of operational projects with steadily increasing responsibilities. Responsibilities have included representing the client in the design and construction of deepwater drillships (Transocean and Global Marine), pre-FEED and FEED studies for the client in a large offshore development (Chevron, ExxonMobil), developing business and execution strategies for other onshore and floating and fixed offshore projects (Shell, Fluor, Aker, and McDermott), and as lead structural engineer for projects with difficult or unique installations, deepwater structures, remote locations, or other difficult impediments. I have extensive jacket and topside detail design experience for offshore in a variety of environments (cold regions, earthquakes, ice floes, severe storms, and tropical regions in the Gulf of Mexico, West Africa, Caribbean Sea, Caspian Sea, and Eastern Russia). Developed and patented method and apparatus for installation of offshore structures.
In addition to significant structural engineering, I have related engineering experiences in mechanical engineering (defined control-system equations, patented method and apparatus to track mooring lines through the sea column and through the seafloor soils, developing fiber-optic technologies for monitoring various aspects of pipeline engineering, developing motion-compensator for heave mitigation); naval architecture (working with classification societies; developing new techniques to reduce inertial forces in floating structures, studying hydrostatic properties, installing and upgrading stability software, and installing and upgrading motion-prediction software); and business development (product development, proposal preparation and presentation, business strategies, contractual negotiations).
