2006 - 2010 Aero Union Corporation Chico, CA
Manager of Contracts and Purchasing
 I was responsible for the entire proposal process including material, production and engineering cost estimates,
performance and reporting requirements and delivery schedules that would ensure compliance with the request for
proposal/quote or provide exceptions to the requestor’s requirements, because it was my job to verify the requirements
and verify that we could comply with them or provide acceptable alternatives that the internal team agreed upon.
Additionally, I was responsible for the negotiation, administration, and management of service, product, and lease
contracts, both domestic and international. Acting as the primary contact point between both internal departments and
external customers I verified that the performance requirements of each contract were adhered to and that this same
information was transmitted to outside subcontractors for compliance. I ensured compliance with federal and/or state
laws, regulations and/or Agency rules, standards, and guidelines, including FAR, DFARS, UCC and ITAR. I have
administered CPFF, FFP, T&M, and ID/IQ contracts at Aero Union and previously at OEA Aerospace, Northrop
Grumman, and Rockwell. I negotiated contract extensions while mitigating penalties due to unforeseen program delays.

 I managed the day-to-day purchasing department functions. I established favorable credit terms with suppliers who
had previously performed only on a C.O.D. or pre-pay basis. Additionally, I established blanket purchase orders for
continuing services thereby assuring uninterrupted performance and reducing in-house costs related to multiple purchase
orders for the same services. I also assisted buyers in finding sources to fulfill new or continuing requirements that were
not being supported by the current supplier base. I managed a staff of three buyers.

1995 - 1996 OEA Aerospace Fairfield, CA
Senior Contracts Administrator
 I was responsible for the negotiation, administration, and management of major contracts between OEA and various
customers such as Boeing, Rockwell, and Northrop Grumman. Some of the programs that we supported included the
V-22 Osprey, Atlas launch booster, Titan missile, the F-16, F-18, and the F-15. The product we supplied to these
programs was ordinance for separation of stages or for emergency egress from a platform. It was my responsibility to
verify compliance with contract requirements from the FAR and DFARS. I administered FFP, CPFF and T&M contracts.

1987 - 1995 Northrop Grumman Hawthorne, CA
Procurement Administrator
 I was responsible for the negotiation, administration, and management of major subcontracts for a top secret program.
It was my responsibility to make sure that my subcontracts were in compliance with the FAR and DFARS clauses from the
prime contract. Around 80% of my subcontracts were CPFF with the balance being FFP.

 I was the only non-engineer program manager of a major subsystem with engineering, quality assurance, purchasing,
document control, and production reporting to me. Prior to my tenure as program manager this subsystem failed during
system testing resulting in a catastrophic failure. I was assigned as program manager and our team was given 12
months to correct the problems, establish a new source, qualify the subsystem, and get back into system level testing.
We were able to perform this in 10 months and get the program back on schedule.

1984 - 1987 Rockwell Collins Santa Ana, CA
Subcontract Administrator
 My job was to negotiate, administer, and manage major subcontracts for secret programs under contract to the NSA,
primarily regarding electronic components, subsystems and systems. Since this was early in the development of
electronics, and in order to perform this important position, I learned how to read both electrical schematics and
blueprints. I also had to verify that my suppliers were performing in accordance with applicable FAR and DRAFS clauses
from the various prime contracts.
