SUBJECT MATTER EXPERT: Pat Green, P.E.
Patrick Green is a professional engineer registered in three states, Alabama, Georgia, and Mississippi. He holds degrees from the U. S. Naval Academy and the University of Florida.
After serving in the U. S. Navy, he left to gain a Mechanical Engineering degree. His experience includes working in the shipbuilding industry at Newport News Shipbuilding, fire control test engineering on a Polaris missile submarine and assisting in the planning of installation of The Nuclear Carrier power plant construction for the USS Nimitz.
He began his career in the electric utility industry working on computerized planning and scheduling for power plant construction. He gained considerable experience in pre-operational and start up testing at the Alvin W. Vogtle Electric Generating Station, near Augusta, Georgia. Towards the end of his career, he performed operational audits as a certified lead auditor and as an Independent Safety Engineer. He is now retired, but has a continued interest in all things engineering.
