With more than 55 years of experience to his credit, Mr. Lammers is currently retired, having excelled as the president of Advisory First from 2004 to 2016, during which time he notably developed the reliability engineering process alongside his son.

Mr. Lammers began his career in 1960, enlisting in the U.S. Navy as a commissioned ensign. Completing a number of submarine assignments from 1960 until 1968, he was active at the Mare Island Naval Shipyard as a ship superintendent and a docking officer from 1971 to 1976, on the U.S.S. L.Y.

Attaining the rank of a captain in 1981, he further flourished as a trident integrated logistics systems officer for the Naval Sea Systems Command from 1981 until 1982 and a planning officer for the Mare Island Naval Shipyard between 1983 and 1984. In 1987, Mr. Lammers retired from military service, at which point he had held the post of a commanding officer at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard since 1984.
Before embarking on his professional path, Mr. Lammers pursued an education at the U.S. Naval Academy, earning a Bachelor of Science in electrical engineering in 1960. He continued his academic efforts at the Naval Postgraduate School, graduating with a Master of Science in ocean engineering in 1971. Following these accomplishments, Mr. Lammers concluded his studies with postgraduate coursework in management consulting at Duke University in 1982.
Beyond his responsibilities within the field, Mr. Lammers has participated in numerous endeavors outside of his professional circles. A noted lecturer, he contributed to the Greater Portsmouth chapter of the YMCA Building Fund as a chairman from 1985 to 1987. Furthermore, he held the role of a senior manager of training courses with the Naval Sea Systems Command between 1984 and 1987 and the Engineering Duty Officer School from 1983 until 1987. Briefly active as a broker for A.G.

Inspired by his father, George Lammers, who successfully operated the biggest store in Big Horn County for generations, Mr. Lammers was motivated to enlist within the U.S. Navy by his brother, Gayle Lammers, who inspired his sibling with his impeccable service as a signalman during the Second World War. Remarkably completing exams at West Point, Annapolis and the Air Force Academy, he is incredibly proud of his selection as the commander of the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, having been recognized as the youngest commander to hold the title at the time.
Remaining humble due to his tireless work ethic and his piano performances, which he honed by ear during his military service, his legacy is punctuated by his efforts as a family man, having been a loving husband to his wife, Bea, since 1961, with whom he raised two wonderful children, Laura Bea and the late Lennis Steven. Mr. Lammers has also happily welcomed one grandchild, Julia Beatrice, into his family.
