When selected as an assistant program manager in the Trident and Seawolf submarine programs, he led several System Process Improvement Teams to resolve operational and engineering problems through root-cause analysis and causal mapping, developing design and specification changes. Later, as the Manager of Contracts & Finance for Overhaul, he established a contract and finance group to support Electric Boat's re-entry into the submarine overhaul and repair field. The combined contracts and finance team, similar to the commercial industry, streamlined the contract change process and managed performance through the finance Earned Value Management System (EVMS) process.
