STATUSAVAILABLE
Aerospace & Defense Operations Consulting
Quality systems and operational discipline for manufacturers who can't afford a failed audit.
I help aerospace, defense and advanced manufacturing suppliers get — and stay — certified. AS9100, ISO 9001/14001/45001 and NADCAP compliance, UAS certification roadmaps, and the operational systems that keep audits clean and programs on budget.

01Focus Areas
Four areas where clients bring me in — usually when the stakes are an audit, a certification deadline, or a program that's slipping.
Quality Systems
ISO / AS9100 / NADCAP Compliance
Audit readiness and quality management system design for suppliers who need to pass — and keep passing — certification audits without disrupting production.
Regulatory
UAS / Drone Certification Roadmaps
Certification strategy and regulatory pathway planning for drone programs, structured around weight class, airspace, and jurisdiction.
Operations
Program & Operations Leadership
Hands-on operational management for manufacturing and engineering programs — budget, schedule, and cross-functional execution.
Technology
AI Enablement for AS9100 Suppliers
Scoping practical, low-risk AI use cases for certified aerospace and defense quality organizations — where it actually saves audit hours.
02How I Work
A practical sequence, not a framework for its own sake.
A.
Assess against the standard
Walk the current process against the actual clauses of the standard you're certifying to — not a generic checklist. Gaps get ranked by audit risk, not by convenience.
B.
Fix what the auditor will actually flag
Prioritize the corrective actions that close real non-conformity risk first, so effort goes where it protects the certification.
C.
Build systems your team can run without me
Documentation and processes are designed to be owned internally after the engagement ends — not dependent on outside consulting to maintain.
