I attended the University of Virginia, graduating with a BS in Engineering. I earned an MS in Engineering from the George Washington University and an MBA at the George Mason University. I have managed a variety of systems engineering and business planning activities throughout my career, which began as a government employee with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration at the Goddard Space Flight Center. Seven years later, I joined AT T Bell Labs where I continued to work on the space program supporting NASA’s manned lunar landing efforts. Following the successful lunar landing missions, my work shifted to technical and business issues related to providing services to AT T’s telecom customers. About half of my career with AT T was spent at the Bell Labs Research Center in Murray Hill, NJ and the remainder in Washington, DC.
