Defense Engineering & Zero-Failure Systems

Todd’s career in high-consequence engineering began with Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA), where he specialized in environmental control, life-support HVAC, and thermal management systems for nuclear-powered submarines. Under zero-failure reliability mandates, he executed mechanical design, dynamic thermal analysis, and quality assurance for mission-critical submarine platforms.

Campus Infrastructure & District Energy Leadership

Todd brings more than a decade of experience leading the engineering, operation, and modernization of complex institutional campus utility infrastructure: 

• Central Steam Power Plant Operations: Engineering direction for central steam generation, high-capacity hydronic loops, and district-scale chiller networks. 

• District Distribution Networks: Oversight of multi-mile steam and condensate distribution networks, piping retrofits, and steam-to-hot-water heat exchanger conversions. 

• Low-Carbon Energy Systems: Practical deployment of ground-source geothermal well fields, high-efficiency building automation systems (BAS), and rooftop solar PV arrays integrated with large-scale academic and research facilities. 

Mechanical & Energy Engineering Practice 

At Electric Peak Engineering, Todd applies his background in defense reliability and campus-scale district energy to commercial, municipal, and institutional clients. His engineering practice prioritizes long-term operational uptime, energy efficiency, constructability, and trade coordination.
