I build systems that work. Over 23 years in the U.S. Army, I've specialized in one thing: taking broken or nonexistent operational processes and turning them into scalable, high-performance systems. Whether it's managing a $15M asset portfolio with zero loss over 7 years, building Power BI dashboards that cut executive decision time by 40%, or creating the operational backbone for a 3,000-person organization from scratch—I focus on measurable results. My background spans operations management, program coordination, data analytics, and cross-functional leadership. I've managed 24/7 operations across multiple time zones, coordinated with international partners, and led teams through high-pressure environments where failure wasn't an option. I'm relocating to Louisville, Kentucky in June 2026 and looking to bring this same systems-thinking approach to the civilian sector. I'm particularly interested in operations management, program management, and supply chain roles where I can eliminate friction, improve efficiency, and build frameworks that last. If you're solving complex operational problems or building something from the ground up, let's connect. Active TS/SCI clearance.
