Currently, he is the Program Director for Advanced Nuclear Power for Installations for the Army. In his current capacity, he is leading a cross-functional team with members from several offices of Secretary of the Defense, Air Force, Navy, NRC, and DOE (including five national labs), exploring advanced nuclear energy sources for military installations.

Mo began his career as an enlisted Soldier at Fort Carson, CO in 1997; he was later honorably discharged as a staff sergeant and began his warrant officer career in December 2005. In his last assignment as Chief Warrant Officer 5, between June 2018 – July 2023, he served as Chief, Contingency Construction and Operational Energy Branch, within the Office of the Chief of Engineers (OCE) in Headquarters Department of the Army Staff (HQDA). During his tenure, he also established the Nuclear Power Branch of the Office of the Chief of Engineers in 2020 and served as an Operational Energy (OE) advisor since 2014.

After retiring in November of 2023, he joined Idaho National Laboratory (INL), as the program manager for defense use of Nuclear Energy.

They are proud to be raising two tremendous smart, responsible, kind children, Ilahn (12) and Ihsaan (15), who have called Virginia home for over seven years.
