About

Leading award-winning teams since 2009 as a US Air Force officer and aviator. I specialize in process improvement by re-thinking systems and how they meet a user's need. I've been entrusted with the leadership of a team responsible for the management and mission allocation for a fleet of hundreds of USAF tanker mobility aircraft worth over $20B and thousands of aircrews across 18 Air Force wings. Additionally, I've been working since 2016 on building a short-term rental real estate investing company specializing in workforce housing needs near major healthcare and military locales.
