In 1957, he was assigned to ship- building headquarters then located in New York City as assistant to construction engineer, and later as technical assistant to the vice presi- dent. In 1966 he returned to the

Hoboken yard as a ship superinten- dent and became assistant project superintendent at the San Francisco yard later that year.

He returned to the Ho- boken yard as general superinten- dent in 1978 and the following year was named general manager. He was appointed to his present position in 1982. 120 Maritime Reporter/Engineering News
