EXPERIENCE:08/18/08 – Present

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission – Washington, D.CElectrical Engineer – I perform studies and analyses of the

Engineering related areas associated with energy regulation for interstate power generation systems. This includes electric utility engineering, engineering valuation, O&M, depreciation, quality and reliability of service as they apply to wholesale utilities. I also perform analyses of one-line diagrams showing distribution, transmission, substation, and switch-gear components of electrical power generating systems – calculations are made to establish the correct power factor, reactive allocator, and loss factor percentages for the allocation of cost to generators; this is done by utilizing excel spreadsheets and load flow software (Power World).

Buckeye Power, Docket No. EL11-0054-002 (August 2012) – Expert Witness TestimonyAs lead engineer on this case, I prepared testimony on the issue of how to establish network integration by using the Mansfield and Seven Factor Test. I analyzed complicated issues where Buckeye requested to be charged only one rolled-in transmission rate for its delivery points connected at 69kV instead of the voltage differentiated rates they’ve been paying for over 20 years. The presiding Judge agreed with my position completely in his ID issued in January 2013.

MidAmerican Energy Company, Docket No. ER09-823 (January 2010) – Expert Witness TestimonyPrepared testimony on the issue of the disputed facility upgrades of MidAmerican from the perspective of the Commission’s Seven Factor Test. I utilized the Seven Factor Test in my testimony to establish whether or not the disputed facility upgrades conformed to the test for classifying them as local distribution facilities. I was able to demonstrate that the disputed facility upgrades should be delineated as integrated transmission for all purposes including, without limitation, ratemaking, jurisdiction, and accounting.

Southern California Edison Company, Docket No. ER13-1216-001(March 2014) – Expert Witness TestimonyAs the lead engineer on this case, I prepared testimony on the issue of the disputed amount of interconnection service that should be provided under the unexecuted Large Generation Interconnection Agreement (LGIA) filed by SCE. I testified that a power injection above the current level would cause an increase in power flows that could create adverse impacts not previously identified on the electrical system. I performed a Power-World load flow study to validate the premise of possible overloads on the system due to an increased injection of power on the system that was above the current levels.

El Paso Natural Gas Company, Docket No. RP10-1398 (June 2011) – Expert Witness TestimonyAs a depreciation specialist providing evidence supporting the view of Staff that contract life should not be the determining factor in establishing the depreciation service life of the Willcox Lateral (a natural gas facility), I showed

that contract life will understate the remaining life associated with this facility, thus skewing the ability to have a properly assigned calculated depreciation rate. The Commission’s ruling validated and accepted my findings in full.

09/29/05 – 08/15/08Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission – Harrisburg, Pennsylvania

Nuclear Engineer – Performed studies and analyses of the Engineering related areas associated with energy regulation including valuation, depreciation, cost of service, quality and reliability of service as they apply to retail utilities. I also performed analyses in specific areas of valuation engineering and rate structure which included original cost, property records, intangible values, rate base, fixed capital costs, inventory processing, excess capacity, nuclear decommissioning, cost of service, and rate design.

PPUC v. Columbia Gas of Pennsylvania, Docket No. R-2008-2028039 (Expert Witness Testimony)I acted as the lead engineer on this case, I prepared testimony on issues dealing with Lost and Unaccounted for Gas, Retainage, and Unified Sharing Mechanism as it pertains to natural gas distribution cost.

PPUC v. Total Environmental Solutions, Docket No. R-00072495 (Expert Witness Testimony)As the lead engineer on this case, I prepared testimony on issues dealing with Materials and Supply, Rate Design, Customer Penalties, and Water Allowance Minimum Charge.

PPUC v. Audubon Water Company, Docket No. R-00072100 (Expert Witness Testimony)As the lead engineer on this case, I prepared testimony on issues dealing with Customer Service as it relates to the company’s performance needs to the customers.

PPUC v. Emporium Water Company, Docket No. R-00061297 (Expert Witness Testimony)As the lead engineer on this case, I prepared testimony on issues dealing with Unaccounted for Water, and Line Breaks.

1/28/02 – 07/20/05Baltimore City Health Department – Baltimore, Maryland

Environmental Sanitarian/Environmental Engineer – Acted primarily as a Risk Assessor (RA) conducting data analysis and report preparation for human and ecological Health Risk Assessments (HRAs), this included Phase I and Phase II Environmental Site Assessments (ESAs). Furthermore, I was acting Radiation Safety Officer (RSO) which required me to monitor and maintain radiation safety programs within the organization; mandatory radiation safety training was required annually for overall work safety and for certification by the Department of Transportation (DOT) to transport radioactive materials among the general public.

12/12/00 – 07/23/01A2LA – Frederick, Maryland

Laboratory Services Officer/Quality Engineer – I provided technical assistance to calibration laboratories for their accreditation process -- performed technical laboratory assessments to ensure that the quality and technical system of the labs were conforming to ISO 17025 quality standards. Furthermore, I participated in the collection and analysis of technical and management data from the labs that were accredited by the ISO 17025 quality standard, which is a main ISO standard used by testing and calibration laboratories to establish technical competence.

06/98 – 12/12/00Maryland Department of Agriculture – Annapolis, Maryland

Metrology Engineer – Responsibilities included but not limited to: Maintaining the traceability of measurements to the national standards located at NIST. I implemented and maintained measurement control programs - this involved maintaining and updating control charts to monitor the standards, laboratory equipment, and the measurement processes used within the laboratory and/or testing site. The control charts were used to document the validity of measurements and to determine the random errors present in a measurement process of electro-mechanical and volumetric systems.

11/96 – 06/98LZR Electronics, Inc. – Gaithersburg, Maryland

Electronic Engineering Technician – Duties included but not limited to: Repairing and troubleshooting switching power supplies, with a strong emphasis on electronic circuit design and testing. Electronic device modeling and circuit simulation methodologies

were used extensively on a daily basis such as SPICE, MATLAB, and Simulink.

To further note – my duties also involved the designing and the implementation of switching regulators as a replacement for linear regulator models for the purpose of increasing higher efficiency, smaller size and/or lighter weight, thus mitigating higher cost constraints associated with the manufacturing of LZR’s power supply products.

05/95 – 07/95Morgan State University – Baltimore, Maryland

Program Instructor – Center for the Excellence in Undergraduate Research in Science and Mathematics (Cure-Sam). Duties included but not limited to: Teaching basic and introductory electronics (analog & digital), with use of computer simulation of electronic circuits.
