EXPERIENCE SUMMARY:

 

Sixteen years of documented success in planning and directing education and training programs.  Diverse educational and experience background in long-range planning, research and development, instructional design, curriculum development, and classroom instruction. 

 

Research Analyst, Metrica, Inc., San Antonio, Texas:  Conducted extensive research to uncover the variety of military/civilian crosswalk databases.  Assessed and prioritized the utility of these databases in developing manpower mobilization plans.  Built a conceptual utilization pattern to allow simplified crosswalking among civilian and military personnel databases.  Provided recommendations on use of this pattern for extensive mobilization research. (Supervisor:  Dr. Brice Stone, (210)340-8211).   

 

Chief, Educational and Technology Requirements, USAF, Randolph AFB, Texas:  Produced an effective 25 year modernization document, approved by the Chief of Staff, Air Force.  Restructured the Command’s Technology Master Process effectively solving problems that crossed numerous organizational boundaries. Identified 13 major laboratory research projects for technical training and adapted them to educational needs, realizing a 4 million dollar savings.  Established performance targets for operation of a 15 million dollar Training Decision System.  Managed the Command’s Advanced Technology Transition Demonstrations valued at 11.5 million dollars.  Saved the Air Force thousands of dollars by reducing 175 proposed research issues to 75--eliminated duplication and focused scarce resources on only the essential issues.  Supervised four officers and 1 civilian.

 

Chief, Academic Operations Branch, USAF, Lackland AFB, Texas: Controlled five curriculum areas for Officer Training School, Air Force Orientation Course, and Health Professions Officer Indoctrination Course.  Developed and accelerated plan to select, train, and certify five curriculum area managers without degrading training quality or delaying the implementation of major course enhancements.  Capitalizing on a “train the trainer” concept, developed a comprehensive in-service training program for instructors on effective writing and briefing programs.  Totally revised the Communication Skills program to realign entire curriculum on real-world skills required for junior officer success.  Spearheaded a special team to implement a 20 percent course expansion during a period of rapidly evolving priorities and sharply reduced resources.  Directly supervised nine officers.

 

Technical Training Inspector, USAF, Randolph AFB, Texas:  Inspected over 200 units, traveled more than 40, 000 miles, interviewed approximately 1,700 people, and wrote 200 detailed inspection reports.  Identified widespread cases of sexual harassment and discrimination at a defense language school-resolution ensured training, not personal issue, became main focus of students.  Reorganized the Division’s inspection files, monitored all replies to inspection findings, and revised and validated 3 technical training and 22 field training detachment checklists.  Redesigned the discrepancy tracking system for over 200 geographically separated units, enabling more positive control of significant corrective actions.  Uncovered safety violations in biomedical equipment maintenance training; discovered insufficient guidance for determining student training requirements, and detected nonexistent management oversight for trainer equipment management programs.  Completed two major investigations implementing recommendations which restored the operational health of two ailing field training detachments. 

 

Training Systems Development Analyst, USAF, Randolph AFB, Texas:  Developed superior task analyses for the Nondestructive Inspection, Security Police, and Space Equipment Maintenance career fields’ Training Development Plans-received commendations from Air Force Program Managers.  Developed a decision matrix to compare commands, air-craft types, and laboratory sizes/diversity-saved over 2 weeks travel time saving scarce units funds.  Managed the development of the Air Force course, Instructional System Development, by coordinating and editing the work of over 15 training developers in four different geographic locations-course significantly improved the quality of Air Force training development.  Appointed the “number 1” briefer for the Division.

 

Chief, Education Programs Branch, USAF, Maxwell AFB, Alabama:  Provided educational assistance to 151               Air Force Reserve Officer Training Corps (AFROTC) detachment commanders.  Research and edited all              lesson plans for two senior textbooks: Effective Writing and Guide For Air Force Speaking.  Research and     co-authored five textbooks for Junior ROTC programs.  Textbooks included: Civilian Aviation, Military                 Aerospace, Air Navigation, Defense of the United States, and Human Requirements for Flight.  Developed             curriculum materials to include instructor handbooks, student workbook, and visual aids to support over       38,000 students at 286 high schools, worldwide.
