I’m a Naval Nuclear Officer getting out at the end of this year. My background is Mechanical Engineering & Robotics. Interested in Hard Tech - manufacturing, energy, next gen systems, and looking to meet people within industry as I figure out my next steps.

It's @USNavyNNPP veterans, like Muenster, that are sitting at the controls and bringing these new reactors to life 🫡🤘
Marina Muenster, our Lead Reactor Operations Manager, is training the team who will operate Kaleidos. ⚡️

Any Navy Nuke in the PNW, Mike Bradley is hosting a career fair on November 9th. TerraPower is sponsoring it, and there will 18-20 other companies along with grad schools representatives.
I’ve gone to the last 3 in Charleston, SC, and there is always a good mix of people to network with and meet.

Welcome to the fleet! 🫡
The @USNavy has selected Radiant to deploy our Kaleidos microreactor at Naval Weapons Station Crane, Indiana.
With this selection, Radiant is now the only nuclear microreactor company with partnerships across the Army, Navy and Air Force.
The Navy has more than 70 years of safe reactor operations. It wrote the playbook on reactor safety. Earning its confidence is powerful independent validation of Kaleidos.
This milestone moves us closer to our goal: reliable, resilient nuclear power wherever the mission demands. Through our work with all three branches, we’re building a clear path from military deployment to nuclear energy at scale for government and commercial customers.

Shift work killed any shot at consistent coaching, so I built a small NIL marketing agency instead. Helped a few College of Charleston athletes land the most deals on campus. Same problem, different tool.

10 yrs ago a small school in a town I had never heard of asked to talk to me after a game I didn’t even play in. 8 months later I’m on campus helping build a program from scratch.

The mids watch at times is my favorite watch, as industrial machinery only likes to break at 3am on a Saturday

Root-caused many equipment deficiencies. The pattern was rarely “people are dumb.” It was usually “the process made the wrong thing easy.”

When I moved to CHS back in 2021 I wanted to stay involved with sports, but couldn’t commit to being a coach (shift work ≠ consistent schedule). Ended up building a small NIL Marketing agency and helped a few CofC athletes land the most deals on campus.

Premiering on select @IMAX screens and streaming this November, THE WATCH: America’s Nuclear Mission offers extraordinary access to the most important mission in world history.
No CGI. No AI. Ever.

Favorite Rickover line I keep coming back to: “The devil is in the details, but so is salvation.”

Hike Torres Del Paine a few years back. Sunrise at the Torres is still one of cooler places to have breakfast.

Ex-NCAA Hockey habits that never left: show up early, live for the unglamorous reps, and don’t negotiate with yourself when you’re tired.

Built an automated circuit-card modification system in a previous life. These little gears were a lifesaver.

Independent authority on a 24/7 plant with 100+ people sounds impressive until you realize most of the job is preventing small problems from becoming big ones.

Really interesting article on the current status of American Manufacturing.
America has 16,876 machine shops.
83% employ fewer than 20 people. Just nine employ more than 500.
New defense companies are moving from prototypes to mass production, and every missile, drone, ship, and rocket they ultimately produce needs to run through one of these small shops.
That friction is a national security liability.

Best thing the nuclear navy taught me isn’t thermodynamics. It’s how to learn a complex system fast without pretending you already understand it.

Had a really good conversation with @davidefaherty yesterday. Doing some cool stuff with @ElementlPower
2020 thesis: nuclear was a melting ice cube. Buy services businesses. Underwrite the fleet, but position for growth.
We ended up asking: how do we accelerate the growth?
