Who We Are
Chris launched Verge Defense in July 2024 after 8 years of technical leadership in DoD Space and Air Force programs that include GPS satellite design, Command & Control (C2) software systems, and air-based mobile command centers. As an expert in Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE), he saw first-hand how MBSE became a siloed or niche method locked up in exquisite tool ecosystems. He set out to break barriers on integrating MBSE with other disciplines, including software, AI, cyber , and data science. Chris’s goal is to bring MBSE models to the verge (i.e., edge) of DoD decision-making.
Chris was previously a Director of MBSE Services for Air & Space Programs at Strategic Technology Consulting (STC), an MBSE leader across the DoD. He served as the founder and Chief Engineer of a Digital Engineering product line at Infinity Systems Engineering, capturing 3x SBIR Phase II contract wins in less than 2 years. Chris spent over 6 years supporting the Lockheed Martin GPS III & IIIF programs as a system architect. His has prior military experience with the Air Force Research Laboratory , the 19th Space Operations Squadron as a GPS Operator , & the 42nd Combat Training Squadron as a Space Electronic Warfare instructor .
