Bio

Emergency power systems don’t “sort of” perform when utility power is interrupted; your facility either assumes the load immediately or the interruption escalates into an operational incident costing you hundreds to thousands of dollars per minute. I help mission-critical owners prevent backup and emergency power failures by applying shipboard casualty-control training (USCG firefighting; USN Buttercup damage control in Newport, RI; USN Farrier firefighting in Norfolk, VA) alongside OEM factory/distributor certifications across Clarke, Generac, Caterpillar, Cummins, Kohler, Detroit Diesel (DDC/MTU), Basler, and Woodward controls (DSLC/MSLC). My work includes nationwide inspections and evaluations of backup and emergency power systems and pre-litigation technical investigations (since 2007) focused on primary root cause, corrective action, repair direction, and recommissioning confidence. That field discipline is reinforced by a B.S. in Electrical Engineering (Power Systems) and M.S. in Electrical Engineering (Power Systems) in progress focused on resilience, and professional standing as an IEEE Senior Member, IEEE-HKN inductee, active in multiple IEEE societies, and an ASCE member (including the Utility Engineering & Surveying Institute and Miami-Dade branch), plus the IEEE Consultants Network. If your facility must operate 24/7/365, contact me to stress-test readiness, identify latent failure conditions, rank risks by consequence, and verify corrective actions on a recurring basis - so your emergency power systems are proven ready before the next interruption, storm, or high-consequence operating condition puts them to the test.
