\"\"Background<\/strong><\/h2>\n

After graduating from RIT (Rochester Institute of Technology) with an Engineering degree, I began my career as a Steam Turbine Design Engineer at General Electric\u00ae. During my 18 years there, I performed a variety of assignments, from Factory Alignment Engineer and Product Design Engineer to Steam Delivery and Systems Engineer. I then joined the MD&A team to perform Topless Turbine Laser Alignment. After 16+ years in turbine alignment, I recently transitioned into my current role as Senior Product Service Engineer.<\/p>\n

What do you do here at MD&A? What aspect do you enjoy most about your role at MD&A?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Most of my work at MD&A has involved turbine alignment<\/a> and conducting various RCA (Root Cause Analysis) investigations and studies to help our customers solve their issues. In my new role, I aim to capture the experience of our workforce and document successful results that can be replicated. Additionally, I bring my personal experience to aid and assist our Field Engineers wherever needed.<\/p>\n

I most enjoy helping others and our customers solve various problems. Contributing towards that goal gives me great satisfaction.<\/p>\n

Why is Pre-Outage Planning so important to a successful outage?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

With our multi-divisional organization, where everyone participates in some aspect of each job, pre-outage planning is essential. It brings each division to the table, ensuring the entire team understands each other\u2019s roles and, most importantly, establishes a direct line of communication across the organization for a successful outage.<\/p>\n

What is the most interesting challenge you have come across in your career?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The most fulfilling challenge I encountered in my career was designing, manufacturing, and installing \u00a0a test rig to measure operational stress inside a steam control valve disc that was prone to failure. The testing program resulted in developing a successful design, and the challenge for me was to get the instrumentation to perform in that environment.<\/p>\n

Why did you choose to work for MD&A and why have you continued to choose to work at MD&A? How would you describe our company culture?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

For me, it\u2019s all about great customer service. As a consumer, I know what poor service feels like, and I chose MD&A because of my passion for providing valued customer service, and I have not been let down. Early in my MD&A career, after a phone call, I was at a customer site addressing their issue before any purchase order for the service. That example says it all for me. The MD&A culture, to me, is about hiring good people and treating them well, so they consistently deliver for our customers. Our people and our customers really matter.<\/p>\n

What do you like to do in your spare time?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

I enjoy playing and collecting guitars, hunting, fishing, working around the yard, gardening, and general landscaping.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
