DETROIT ARSENAL, MICHIGAN-The U.S. Army inducted one of its newest members of the Senior Executive Service (SES) Friday, March 15, in a ceremony at its Warren installation.

The U.S. Government Senior Executive Service, established in 1978, includes men and women charged with the management of major government programs and initiatives. Members of the SES provide important continuity throughout the government and represent a key link between the Nation's elected and appointed leaders and the federal civilian service workforce.

Prior to his retirement, his final duty station was at the Detroit Arsenal where he served as the Military Deputy for GVSC then the Program Manager for Medium Tactical Vehicles.
His duties as the Executive Director for Research & Technology Integration include oversight of the Army's most forward-leading ground vehicle programs, including autonomous and semi-autonomous driving technologies, power and mobility capability development, the breakthrough innovations in protecting the Army's ground vehicles, and upgraded electrification of these vehicles.
