1.      How long have you been a BAMA member?
McCormick Stevenson has been a member for approximately 8 months.
2.      What do you like most about being a BAMA member?
I am grateful for the opportunities for engagement with other local companies.
3.      Tell us about your company.
McCormick Stevenson is a small, non-traditional defense contractor, supporting the Department of Defense through focused technical expertise in the Development and Production of armament systems. Our engineers support areas in design, analysis, manufacturing, quality, and test with a focus in all areas of product lifecycle; concept and requirement development, through full rate production, and into sustainment.
4.      What do you consider your greatest accomplishment to date?
Early in my career as a manufacturing engineer, I helped a design team with transition to production of a cryptographic data transfer device used with COMSEC equipment. After multiple failures in testing and design validation, I implemented a new manufacturing method after completing full root cause analysis. This led to successful qualification and ultimate fielding of the device for the National Security Agency.
5.      What is the best piece of advice you have ever received?
You do not have to seek perfection right away. Focus on getting halfway to the wall every time. Continuous improvement is indeed continuous.
6.      What is the most important skill you have developed in your career?
I believe my growth and development in problem solving has been beneficial in the different hats I have worn in my roles as a manufacturing engineer, manager, program manager, proposal developer, and business development.
7.      What are your hobbies or interests?
Outside of spending time with my 3 daughters and bride, I enjoy attending USF Athletics events and chasing a little white ball around a golf course.
