Bio
I have over 35 years of experience in Procurement and Maintenance Engineering in commercial nuclear and DOE facilities. I have been at the High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR) in the Research Reactors Division (RRD) since 2005. Before my current position as Nuclear Materials Manager, I was a Procurement Engineer for the HFIR. As Nuclear Materials Manager, I oversee routine and mission-critical procurements and fabrications for the HFIR, as well as oversee the Commercial Grade Dedication Program. Additionally, I serve as the Counterfeit/Suspect Items Representative for RRD.
