I have been an electrical controls engineer in the power industry since 2006. I hold a bachelor’s degree in computer engineering and a master’s degree in electrical engineering from North Carolina State University.

I started my power generation career as a field engineer for General Electric® working in places like Southeast Asia, India, the Middle East, Europe, and finally the US. After 10 years on the road, I took the opportunity to shift focus and work on global business development activities at Bently Nevada® following GE purchasing them.  After a few years, I became manager for manufacturing and supply chain for BN and GE controls and excitation projects, managing several facilities around the globe.  Following that, I came to MD&A where I have been managing the controls and excitation division for 9 years.
