A natural innovator and problem solver, Kevin’s experience spans more than 25 years serving in engineering, team and project management. His hands-on work has taken him across five continents as Manager of Mechanical Engineering. These projects required Kevin spending in excess of 50% of the year out-of-country, over the course of many years. Kevin consistently performed as a top-tier manager while simultaneously assigning himself key engineering duties and tasks. Kevin’s problem solving record, which kept operations on day rate, saved the company many millions of dollars. His record was 100% in resolving these issues worldwide.
Kevin, as an innovator, has multiple patents as either the sole inventor or lead inventor. One invention of note was a lithium mining and recovery system that reduced the time to run and retrieve a six mile deep ocean riser from 21-28 days down to 6 days. The savings on this operation was measure at $10.5 - $15.4 million USD savings over the 15-22 day reduction in riser handling time. These savings would be realized multiple times per mining season and was recognized as one of the deepest lithium ocean mining operations in existence. Kevin was key in development of predictive analytic algorithms that support leading-edge projects in predictive performance, maintenance and failure; creation of artificial intelligence (Al) and data-gathering algorithms in support of Al initiatives for various equipment, apparatuses and systems in the agricultural, offshore oil and gas exploration and drilling and shipping fields. Kevin served as 24 hour on call analytical advisor for predictive failure alerts for the U.S. Navy Ship systems in partnership with G.E..
Kevin has successfully served in engineering and design capacity for the U.S. Navy, US Coast Guard, and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) . Kevin has successfully undertaken the mechanical engineering design, development, and analysis involved in a wide array of engineering projects.
