I took on the responsibility to procure equipment, machines, tooling, and hire personnel for the new division that became known as Launch Systems Fabrication. By Jan 2023, we completed all elements for critical testing. In Feb 2023, the team traveled 4 different times to Marshall Flight Center to correct work that other contractors consistently failed to execute correctly. The team of 15 welders saved the company over $3.5M over one year compared to contractor bids.Boeing Corp (Cimarron Inc.) - DEC 2017 to FEB 2021Orbital/ Manual Welding Technician & SMEAccomplish manned space flight critical welds using the OTW process with various machines.Developed many weld programs for similar and dissimilar alloy tubing of different OD and wall thicknesses.Worked with multiple groups and disciplines to troubleshoot and accomplish tasks.Accomplished tasks and built tooling utilizing the Manual Fusion (TIG) Gas Tungsten Arc ProcessIntroduced innovative tools for process improvement, troubleshooting, enhanced production and product assurance including the utilization of Liquid Dewar Argon supplemented with a Drying system that I developed.Introduced Manual Fusion GTAW TIG tube tacking process with tooling. Special 3D printed and machined aluminum holding clamps for holding tubing on the vehicle during the fit up and welding process.Major Accomplishments:Received the Rockstar Out Of The Box Thinking Award for completing 80+ welds across 5 Crew Module Subsystems to take the weld scope out of critical path to the FIRST MANNED flight test to the International Space Station.EMF Inc. - APR 2017 TO DEC 2017Supervisor  Welding & ManufacturingGround support and Flight hardware for military and aerospace customers, Lockheed, Boeing, Harris, Orbital ATK, Coleman, Grumman, Blue Origin, SpaceXCompliance with Military Specs along with AWS D1.1 and D1.2.

I was tasked to develop, test, and execute a repair process in lieu of a full hydrogen line replacement and full vehicle re-certification, which would cause a 3-year grounding of the entire shuttle fleet. My team proposed a weld process repair, but it would require extremely difficult welding technique, and a new reverse polarity cleaning process that I invented. Multiple welding technicians were tested, and I was the only technician capable of passing the required tests before being allowed to weld on the flight hardware. I performed the required welds, which passed inspections, and successfully repaired the cracks. I repaired all 4 shuttles, which were able to fly several missions before the shuttle program ended in 2010. I received the highest NASA award, the Silver Snoopy, for my role.Lockheed Martin  JUN 2010  AUG 2010TechnicianTemporary Assignment (Night shift) while employed at United Space AllianceOld Fat Albert - Persistent Threat Detection Systems ( PTDS)Built 34 units for AfghanistanBrevard Community College  2002  2006Instructor -Welding, Metallurgy, Blueprint ReadingDeseret Cattle & Citrus- 300,000 AcresManager -Weld Shop, Heavy Equipment /Machinery RepairLockheed Missiles & Space-NOTU Nuclear SubmarinesMechanic /WelderLockheed Space Operations- LES shop KSC Ground ContractLead Welder / Safety CommitteeHONORS & AWARDSNASA Silver Snoopy#3 NASA Space Flight Awareness AwardsNASA Administrator Achievement AwardNASA Administrator Group Achievement AwardUnited States Senate Appreciation AwardGold Dollar Club Award - Kennedy Space Center DirectorDirectors Achievement Award - Johnson Space CenterAerospace Technical Award  Brevard Community CollegeNASA Spaceflight Awareness Team AwardUSA Quest for Excellence Monthly AwardNASA Technical AwardNASA Space Act Invention Award  USA Employee of the Month AwardUSA Bronze Innovation Medallion (Liquid Dewar Argon Drying Systems)Notable Welding CertificationsNASA Flight/ Ground Support, Manual/AutoMilitary Missile MIL-STD-2219AWS/ASME Pressure Vessel Boiler/Structural D1.1/1.2AWS Welding Inspector CWI  AWS Welding Educator CWEOther Skills/CertificationsHigh Pressure System SafetyCorrosion Control-Flight Hardware/Ground EquipmentFluid System Safety and ApplicationsThreaded Fasteners/Inserts/Rivets/Safety WireOrdnance QualificationMeasurement & Test Equipment CalibrationPublicationsAmerican Welding Society JournalLincoln WeldingMiller Welding Technical NewsNASA Technical BriefsPopular MechanicsEDUCATIONBrevard Community CollegeMarion County Technical CenterSteven R.
