Jim Hartung

Jim Hartung has nearly 40 years' experience as a systems engineer, manager, and executive at Boeing, United Technologies, and Rockwell International. As Director of Systems Engineering and Integration for the International Space Station electric power system, he participated in one of the most complex and successful systems engineering activities ever undertaken. As Director of Energy Systems, he led development of advanced energy systems and technologies.

Based on this experience, Jim has developed a plan to improve America's political system and address our most serious problems using systems engineering—the process engineers use to develop complex products and systems such as aircraft and spacecraft. His book "Rational Tax Reform" and his website JimHartung.com describe his plan.
