 Additional Information
What are you doing now:

I work as a Quality Engineer at United Launch Alliance.  We design (Denver, CO), build (Decatur, AL), assemble, test, and launch (Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, FL and Vandenberg Air Force Base, CA) Delta IV and Atlas V space launch vehicles at the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station (CCAFS) and Vandenberg Air Force Base (VAFB) Launch Vehicle processing facilities.  We are now developing the Vulcan Rocket and Centaur V upper stage to ensure future access to space for the USA!


I now live in Decatur, Alabama and serve as a Quality Engineer at the Factory with primary responsibility for the final assembly of the Delta IV Booster, and secondary responsibility for the Atlas V Booster, Atlas Centaur 2nd Stage vehicle, and the Delta IV 2nd Stage vehicle. I also have the privilege of helping with development of the concept of factory operations for the final assembly of the Vulcan rocket booster.  I love the job and love the people in Alabama!
 

   Other Comments:

As a personal note, it is always a pleasure to interact with our Air Force cadre who are assigned to the factory as partners with ULA.  I still love to be around uniformed service brothers and sisters!
