Mr. Sincell completed his studies at WVU in 1974 with a BSEE Degree and a BA degree in Psychology, graduating Magna Cum Laude in both endeavors. In 1985 he founded Worst Case Associates, Inc. with his wife Linda, which provides design and analysis support of avionics development activities in several large corporations, notably General Electric, RCA, Martin Marietta and Lockheed Martin. 

After graduating from WVU, he joined General Electric in Philadelphia working on the MK12A arming and fusing system for the Minuteman 111 reentry vehicle. Specializing in work case analysis and failure modes and effects he worked on assuring safety and reliability of the MK21 fusing electronics for the Peacekeeper missile, the NASA Standard Tape Recorder, a stores management system for the F-18 aircraft, and a host of other military, industrial and commercial apparatus designs. 

In 1989, Mr. Sincell began working as a systems integrator on the Mars Observer spacecraft with GE and helped NASA with the spare MO equipment, and building the Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) with Lockheed Martin Astronautics. He was awarded the NASA Public Service Medal in 1998 for his contribution to the success of the Mars Global Surveyor (MGS), which remains actively engaged today. 

He continued service in the aerospace business as an integrator for Lockheed Martin working on the EOS-AM1 (Terra) earth science platform, which was successfully launched in December 1999. 

For more than two decades, Mr. Sincell has supported the development of the James Webb Space Telescope, launched in 2021, and the Roman Space Telescope, scheduled for launch in 2027, as a contracted senior electrical systems engineer at the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. He has executed Parts Stress Elements on elements for the Orion Crew Vehicle and performed Probabilistic Rick Assessment of the ICESat spacecraft.
