About

I departed from Federal Government service as a Program Director in the National Science Foundation as of March 2025. I developed and administered funding programs in Advanced Materials, Chemistry, and Quantum. I worked in the Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships Directorate where there is a focus on translating fundamental science into societal benefit for the US economy and national security.

Before my Government service, I had a long career in R&D Management, Technical Service, and Business Development for commercial companies ranging from start ups to some of the largest global materials providers. I excelled in moving new products, materials, and technologies into markets.

I am happy to serve in any of the above areas with the goal of having an impact on success of new technology development.
