Woodbridge, Virginia, United States
I’ve spent the last 20+ years in roles that blend national security, policy and hands on operations—from my start as a Naval intelligence officer to directing legislative strategy in support of the U.S. Secret Service's protective and investigative mission. Along the way, I’ve been fortunate to: Help refine key cybercrime provisions in the Corporate Transparency Act Plan and support protective details for the President, visiting heads of state, and large international gatherings without incident Guide agency leaders through Congressional oversight and help secure $68.5 million in bipartisan funding (including $2.5 million to establish the National Threat Assessment Center) Manage technology investments of $2.3 million through zerobased budgeting and surge deployments I enjoy rolling up my sleeves to turn complex policy goals into clear, executable plans—whether that means coordinating across agencies, refining budgets, or teaching best practices to new team members. I’m always interested in connecting with others who share a focus on steady execution, practical problem solving, and continuous learning. Let’s connect if you're looking for: ✔️ A government-affairs or security executive who can thrive in chaos. ✔️ A strategic advisor who turns pressure into policy. ✔️ A leader who blends White House poise with war room urgency.
