Martha Renshaw,
CEO
|
Martha has been with
TCI since 1988, where she quickly rose to the position
of CFO. After serving in that capacity
for several years and expanding her knowledge of Government
acquisition programs and the especially intense
environment of the DoD, Martha took over as CEO in 2004.
Martha's strengths are in business acumen. This strength has
been grown over a 25 year period and began fresh out of the
gates of the University of Maryland in 1978.
In 1978, Martha had the rare opportunity
to serve on a small staff of professionals to
Alinda
C. Burke, America's first woman to serve as Deputy Federal
Highway Administrator under the Carter Administration. In this
capacity, Martha was given the responsibility of coordinating national meetings which
brought together the public and private sectors relating to the
joint development of mass transportation projects. |
These consortiums included Governors of all 50 states; mayors of
all U.S. metropolitan cities;
highway, road and bridge developers; media; Carter's Press
Secretary; U.S. Secretary of Transportation, as well as other
DOT officials (both Federal and State).
In 1980, Martha served as Secretary Treasurer and Operations
Manager to Robert "Mickey" Channell [Georgia State
Representative]. Mickey owned and operated a highly successful
retail chain in Georgia. Martha served as a Corporate Officer
and Operations Manager. In this capacity, Martha met regularly
with field managers and the corporate CPA to review financials,
to measure profitability and to assess and implement strategic
merchandising techniques. Additionally, Martha was responsible
for future site analyses, planning and development. This
included socio-economic impact studies as well as financial
analyses for Board and bank approval prior to new site
development.
In 1982, Martha joined Telic Corporation as a Consultant. Telic,
a telephone industry budgeting software firm, headquartered out
of Rockville, Maryland, was later acquired by CSC. While at
Telic, Martha served in the capacity of training budget managers
at GTE of the South. This required a sound understanding of
software, hardware and networking requirements, as well as
understanding budgeting methodologies specific to the client.
Additionally, Martha supported BellSouth and GTE of the South.
Martha also assisted in marketing support efforts to GTE of the
South and Dayton Power Light. |

Curt holds a BSEE from Georgia Institute
of Technology, 1982, with
master's work at George Washington University
in Electromagnetic Theory and Ga. Tech in Industrial
Engineering. In 1982, Curt went to work at the Navy EHF
Satcom
Program Office of the Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command
(then NAVELEX) in Washington, D.C. The NESP program was the Navy
side of the MILSTAR communications program, and placed the first

He has had the pleasure of consulting with
physicists and astronomers from around the globe. |
Curt's
work has been reviewed and discussed at length with
Dr. Howard Hayden and Dr. Cynthia Whitney, editors
of Galilean Electrodynamics, and Dr.
Roy Keys, editor of
Apieron. Mr. Renshaw developed a personal and
professional relationship with Grote Reber,
the father of radio astronomy, and wrote a portion of the
Encyclopedia Britannica article on Mr.
Reber. Curt's theories have
been discussed with Dr. William Kalfelz,
professor at University
of Maryland, instrumental in much of the pioneering efforts of
the theory's development, and Dr. David
Finklestein, also of Georgia Tech, and author of Quantum
Relativity. Curt has
also been engaged in several lively debates with Mike Lemonick,
science editor of
Time Magazine and author of The Light at the Edge of the
Universe.
In addition to a long
list of published credits
on the subject of Relativity
Theory, including several in IEEE Aerospace and Electronic
Systems Magazine, Curt has presented papers at four independent
sessions of the American Association for the Advancement of
Science (AAAS), and presented six papers at two independent
sessions of the International Conference on Space, Time and Gravitation,
in 1996 and 1998 hosted by the Russian Academy of Sciences in
St. Petersburg, Russia. Curt has also presented papers at
Queen's College in London, at sessions in Cologne, Germany, and

John Boucher,
Director Northeast Operations |
John received a Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Connecticut in Computational and Applied
Mathematics (1986). John has come to TCI after 20 years of
working for GDIT (formerly Anteon/A&T), primarily supporting programming efforts
for NUWC Code 34. He has programmed in many software
languages including .C++., Visual Basic, True Basic, and yes
some Fortran. He was involved in the building the
infrastructure of the NUWC Code 34 Network System (1987-88)
at the base in New London, CT, where he assembled the Code
34 network and served as administrator for 9 years. John
provided the support during the NUWC move from New London to
Newport that made the network transition
almost seamless.
John developed many personal relationships with
Code 34 personnel and learned the process of contracting and
building business through government contacts. He built his
first group of program management personnel for
Anteon in support of those NUWC employees. In one
year, the support group grew from 2 network people to 8
people supporting networks, data centers, and overall
program support.
|
Following 2-3 years as a project manager, John became a group
manager, now responsible for 12 people. Additionally,
he began taking on additional
tasking in support of his department. He was responsible for
assisting in writing
proposals and tracking money for tasks. In 2000, John was
promoted to Deputy Department Manager and assigned the tasks of
tracking all money for the Department. Over the next 2 years,
John assisted the Department Manager in growing the department
by an additional 20%.
In 2002, with the
departure of the Department Manager, John became the acting
Department Manager. He became the Department Manager in 2003,
and was responsible for 48 people.
In June of 2006, John joined TCI. John had known about TCI for a
few years and as an up and coming company to this area, John
thought that he could use some of his acquired knowledge to help
grow the business here at NUWC in the Northeast as well as
assist all other TCI sites as needed. Six other former GDIT employees
also decided that it
was time to move to a smaller, more personal business
atmosphere, rather than stay with
the giant General Dynamics.
For the last 3 years, John has been providing financial, earned
value- and program- management support to the Common Submarine
Radio Room (CSRR) Program. |
