Qualifications

Decades of Industry Experience

I have nearly 40 years of industry experience ranging from an entry level  engineer at Westinghouse to Director of Operating Reactor Licensing for the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. 

Executive Leadership Experience

I served in the Senior Executive Service for 14 years.  I led the teams that licensed the first gas centrifuge facility built in the United States and the  Watts Bar 2 nuclear power plant.  I also led the division that reviewed and approved the risk-informed, performance-based regulations that advanced safety while reducing regulatory burden.  

Small Business Owner 

I currently own and operate a photography and videography business in North Downtown Omaha.  My work has received numerous awards and recognition.   I know how difficult it can be to run a small business and, as an OPPD board member, I will always look at our decisions through the lens of a business owner.
