As the lead Integrated Test Engineer for Code 225 of the South West Regional Maintenance Center (SWRMC), Steven is responsible for ensuring clear and concise communications on behalf of Code 200 for the Availability Maintenance Team, comprised of the Regional Maintenance Center, Shipyard, Program Office, and Ship’s Forces representatives. 

Steve’s first event as lead was the USS Princeton, which became the first availability in over 3 years to successfully meet the promulgated schedule and return to the fleet on time. This was especially noteworthy because of many CG-47 replacement parts being obsolete and many ship variances requiring nuances in test procedures.

In Norse mythology, the God THOR’s Hammer – called Mjolnir – was of critical importance to him. His power and strength were significantly weaker without it. Similarly, as a company, THOR’s power and strength lies in its PEOPLE. Without our employees and the great things they do on a daily basis, we are nothing. For this reason, we have named our new monthly employee recognition award the THOR Hammer.

It is awarded each month to the THOR employee who has provided exemplary customer service and has consistently demonstrated the key attributes of THOR’s Corporate Culture (Integrity, Self-Discipline, Accountability, Innovation, Teamwork and Respect). Below, we recognize our recent THOR Hammer Award winners and once again thank them for their outstanding contributions.
