About

Systems thinking, from the space station to the factory floor.

I’m an aerospace engineer by training and an engineering and technology leader by practice. The thread through my career is the same: understand complex systems well enough to make them work better, and help the people around them do the same.

I spent about a decade in the NASA Johnson Space Center environment working on International Space Station systems engineering and integration—work that built a strong foundation in complex, safety-critical engineering systems. I’ve also worked in energy infrastructure, including pipeline integrity with Sunoco / Energy Transfer, translating engineering and operational requirements into real-world systems.

Today I lead solutions consulting at Siemens Digital Industries Software, helping organizations apply industrial software, digital transformation, and data and AI to manufacturing operations, product lifecycle processes, and engineering.

Alongside that work, I build things independently—through H3 Consulting Partners, my Texas-based consulting practice, and through software products of my own.
