George C. Clarke, Executive Director of Engineering Services With more than 30 years of service in the United States Army Corps of Engineers, George has repeatedly met the challenges of finding sound solutions to complex engineering efforts around the world. He holds a Master’s Degree in Civil Engineering from the University of Virginia, and a Bachelor’s Degree in Nuclear Engineering from Virginia Polytechnic Institute. He served as the Deputy Commander, & Chief of Staff/Acting Commander, US Army Corps of Engineers, North Atlantic Division, and as Team Chief, Defense Threat Reduction Agency. In his last assignment before retiring, he directed teams of engineering and security experts conducting threat assessments at US military installations worldwide. As Executive Director, he has led multi-discipline teams to complete exhaustive analysis of the terrorist threat against New York Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) and Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) subway and commuter rail stations, tunnels, bridges, control centers, and major facilities. In New York, his team completed assessments and developed justification and cost estimates needed to support New York’s applications for FEMA grants to complete nearly $1 Billion in security and structural construction projects. Rocky Alexander, Director of Security Services Rocky served over 20 years as a member of the United States Air Force Security Police, ending his career a top advisor to the Air Force Chief of Security Police. His career included assignments to the operations staff of two major commands with responsibility for authoring operational concepts for employing security systems protecting critical national defense weapons systems, including nuclear and space launch resources. Following retirements, he served as operations manager and program manager directing multi-million dollar security projects at the Pentagon, Navy Annex, and leased commercial offices throughout the Washington DC metropolitan area. He later joined George Clarke in New York and Chicago, serving as the senior security specialist in completing the vulnerability assessment and developing electronic and physical security solutions for protecting critical MTA and CTA assets against terrorist attack. He holds a Bachelor and Master of Business Administration and an Associate of Applied Sciences Degree in Criminal Justice. Morton Orentlicher, Ph. D., Chief Scientist Prior to serving as head of an environmental review unit of the New York City Department of Environmental Protection (NYCDEP) and Assistant to the Mayor of New York for engineering and quantitative issues, Morton had a 10-year affiliation with Columbia University's College of Physicians and Surgeons, Department of Neurology, where his work focused on biophysics and mechanisms affecting neurological response. He joined the Columbia faculty immediately after completing his Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering at UC, Berkeley. Morton's experience includes over 30 years in transportation and environmental projects in New York City and New York State, including large scale Homeland Security risk evaluation and mitigation efforts. As a consultant for the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, his work included assessment of potential impacts on public health resulting from exposure to biological and chemical agents, including estimation of potential attack scenarios and their consequences and development of recommended response and mitigation measures. With specialist teams, Morton developed conceptual designs for detection of chemical and biological agents, improvement of exit procedures for at-risk facilities, strengthening of transportation facility security systems (including surveillance and active defense), and enhancement of structural resistance to attack. Prior experience includes numerous projects where air impact and public health were central issues. His role has ranged from program management to management of the modeling and research teams executing the analyses. Richard C. Whittenberger, Chief Engineer Mr. Whittenberger has twenty-nine (29) years experience in communications, electronics, and computer systems research, design, development, analysis, and graduate study, having served on a wide variety of numerous projects and systems in his career. His experience has included working in the entire spectrum of engineering from the low level innovative, detailed work of design and development to the high level comprehensive tasks of systems engineering and integration of large systems. He has found that his many years of advanced education and dedication to details have helped him to achieve success in each project he was assigned.
