Jeremy is enrolled in his final class in the George Mason University MSSE program. He specialized in the C4I track.  Jeremy obtained a BS in Electrical Engineering Technology in May 2003 from Old Dominion University. Upon graduation, he began his career in 2004 with the United States Marine Corps as a DOD civilian employee under the Naval Acquisition Intern Program (NAIP). Jeremy was assigned to Marine Corps Systems Command (MCSC) in Quantico, VA and spent his first three years under the NAIP. During this time, Jeremy worked in the command’s C4I Interoperability Branch. Jeremy coordinated across multiple MCSC program offices to ensure that interoperability issues between individual C4I systems were addressed properly. The NAIP afforded Jeremy the opportunity to quickly gain knowledge of the DOD Acquisition Process through multiple Defense Acquisition University (DAU) courses and external assignments/rotations.  In early 2006, Jeremy completed a four month external rotation at Camp Pendleton, CA working in the Systems Architecture and Engineering Branch of the Marine Corps Tactical Systems Support Activity (MCTSSA). Upon graduation from the NAIP, Jeremy came on board full time with MCSC as a Systems Engineer.  Jeremy currently works in the program office for Optics and Non-lethal systems (ONS). He serves as the team lead for ONS’s Electro-Optic Test Facility (EOTF).  The EOTF is the program office’s in-house optics laboratory, used for the test and evaluation of optical scopes and night vision devices to support source selections and R&D initiatives. The EOTF is capable of performing a wide range of electro-optical tests for thermal sensors, image intensification devices, day scopes, and laser systems.
