Bio
Kyle Blond, PMP, 6σ Black Belt
I’ve had the distinct pleasure of working with Dan over the past two years on a Master’s Degree in Systems Engineering from the Naval Postgraduate School. Over this time, Dan has consistently proven himself the leader of the pack in engineering disciplines, project management, and technical problem solving. Because of his stellar performance, Dan was recognized as top of our class among 22 graduate engineering students with an award for superior academic performance and cohort leadership. He was also elected to lead our Capstone team of eight students; I had the privilege of serving as his deputy team lead and can attest to his tireless excellence in leading a multi-disciplinary team to achieve complex technical solutions. Dan is in the top 1% of colleagues I have worked with in any setting. He is guaranteed to produce impactful results for any organization that is lucky enough to have him.

Nov 2002 - Present
Work with developmental system program offices to estimate, manage, control, and make projections of the mass properties (weight and center-of-gravity) of air vehicle systems. Establish achievable, realistic requirements and then develop and execute systems engineering solutions to meet technical requirements decomposed from user requirements. Work with operational users responsible for maintaining records of what their aircraft mass properties are to facilitate airworthiness requirements (NATOPS and NATIP). Coordinate with industry peers and program management to develop operationally-effective and operationally-suitable systems and develop work products that enable users to accurately maintain their aircraft records.
