About

I'm a professional learner and problem solver with over 25 years in the Army serving in positions ranging from end-user application to senior management. I have had the opportunity to travel the world with various organizations and hone my skills while working with DoD, DoS, and DoJ employees. My unique experiences have given me the chance to work with foreign leaders ranging from local constabularies and village elders in Papua New Guinea to heads of security forces in Nepal, and Ministerial position holders in Mongolia. I am a divergent leader who enjoys building the team, meeting organizational goals, and finding new and better ways to accomplish the mission.
