Statement of
Qualifications for Congress
- I have a record of demonstrated integrity,
putting my career on the line many times in the interest of my country with
absolutely no use of my position for personal gain.
- I bring intelligence documented by the
maximum possible score (800) on the Graduate Record Exam (GRE) Mathematical reasoning
test. Similar to the SAT but for college graduates seeking advanced
degrees, the GRE tests the capability to quickly cut through the
extraneous information, narrow in on the problem, and solve it. We
need that kind of capability in Congress.
- As an engineer (BS, MS from Purdue), I am a
system builder and problem solver.
I use the engineering approach to solve all problems. I define the
problem, devise and document a proposed solution, test the proposal, refine
it, develop an implementation plan, and implement the solution. I
don't let extraneous elements drive the process. In Congress, lobbyist
profit will not drive the process. In the Air Force I solved many
problems in highly charged political situations by keeping the
focus on the problem and the mission.
- I have had success in key areas important to
the work of Congress: military intelligence, war planning, weapons system
simulation, weapons systems acquisition management, large government
software system development, business process development and improvement,
project management, and generic process simulation. I have worked with all
major US intelligence organizations (Central Intelligence Agency (CIA),
Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), and National Security Agency (NSA)), and
weapons system acquisition and budgeting organizations. As an
intelligence analyst, I have contributed to the National Intelligence
Estimate and briefed the highest levels of the Department of Defense.
- On numerous occasions I have gone into
government and business organizations
as a trouble shooter and made major constructive changes
in how they conducted business.
Typically, I have been in those organizations a short time, but the positive
impact of my work has persisted for many years. Since 1989, I have
been associated with the
Ben
Graham Corporation which has designed and implemented business process
improvement in more than a thousand corporate and government organizations.
I have the intelligence, experience, determination, and strength of
character to to have a major positive impact on the U.S. Congress.
