Additional Information
What are you doing now:
Getting out in 1997, after having just commisioned and put to sea, USS THE SULLIVANS DDG-68, I first went to work for Northrop Grumman. At Northrop, I developed high fidelity interactive Tactical Operations Watchstander training before being asked to design the Command and Control layout and watchstander descriptions for several major program proposals, then participate as team lead in their development after contract award.
In 2007, because of the Naval Combatant Command & Control and Navigational Bridge operational design, development and testing experience I gained and because of my growing overall experience in Human Systems Integration (HSI), I decided to go to work for Sonalysts; a highly energetic, competent and employee owned company comprised of a wide variety of skilled Navy and Marine Corp SMEs committed to Navy and Marine Corps excellence.
At Sonalysts, Inc, I am now working on the research, design, dedvelopment and testing of the emerging technologies and human systems design approaches required to meet both current and future Navy and Marine Corp operational requirements.

Operation Earnest Will (Iran)
From Month/Year
July / 1987
To Month/Year
August / 1990
Description Operation Earnest Will (24 July 1987 – 1 August 1990) was the American military protection of Kuwaiti-owned tankers from Iranian attacks in 1987 and 1988, three years into the Tanker War phase of the Iran–Iraq War. It was the largest naval convoy operation since World War II.
The U.S. Navy warships that escorted the tankers, part of U.S. Naval Forces Central Command, were the operations' most visible part, but U.S. Air Force AWACS radar planes provided surveillance and U.S. Army special-operations helicopters hunted for possible attackers.
Other U.S. Navy vessels participated in Operation Earnest Will. They were then under the command of the U.S. Navy's Seventh Fleet which had primary responsibility for combat operations in the Persian Gulf region. The numerous ships used in Operation Earnest Will mostly consisted of Battleship Battle Groups, Carrier Battle Groups, Surface Action Groups and ships from the Pacific's Third and Seventh Fleets and the Mediterranean-based Sixth Fleet. They generally operated in and near the Gulf for parts of their normal six-month deployments.
This was the first tactical operation of the United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) that involved Navy SEALs, Special Boat Units, and 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment (Airborne) ("Nightstalkers") aviators all working together.
