I began my career as a Boilermaker Apprentice. I had to learn the Boilermaker
trade and how work on Naval Warships was executed and the importance of

conducting this work in a timely and responsible manner. Following are some
of the many highlights of my career.

Shortly after serving my apprenticeship, I became a Trade Skill Instructor. I
designed, developed, instructed, and evaluated personnel in the trade skill and
apprentice courses for more than 200 personnel. I progressed in my career and
became a supervisor and advanced to a Project Manager, providing leadership

in the execution of naval and nuclear ship overhauls. I managed this work,
which required executive status reports and briefings to ensure work was
accomplished on time and within the required budget. I provided leadership as

the Change Manager on a major implementation of an automated system that
consolidated several database systems into one system and sunset over 100
antiquated systems. Lastly, I was promoted to the Production Training
Department Superintendent, managing a team of 142 professionals from

different professional backgrounds and geographic locations with specific
responsibilities in department strategic vision, budgeting, human capital

strategies (hiring through career development), and training project portfolio
management.

A highpoint of my career was when I was accepted into the Industrial

Management Scholarship Program. I earned an Associate in Industrial
Supervision. The program was cancelled before I could finish the school for a
Bachelor’s degree. Another highpoint in my career was becoming a certified
Project Manager Professional through the Project Management Institute. These

are only a few of my adventures in the Naval Shipyard but my passion was
working with individuals and teams to help them become the best they could
be and to challenge them to reach their goals and ambitions in their career.

This is why I am still working as a consultant, helping develop leadership at
NAVSEA headquarters and the Naval Shipyards.

I am Myles Hurwitz and in 1966, I completed my Bachelor’s in Mathematics

at Boston University, after which my University adviser recommended that I
continue my career at the David Taylor Model Basin (DTMB) in Maryland.
Upon completing my Bachelor’s degree at DTMB, I was provided an

opportunity to continue on to a Master’s degree at the University of Maryland,
while simultaneously starting my career as a Mathematician for the
Department of Defense (DoD).
