Aviation Maintenance and Operations Leader with over 20 years of experience in the United States Marine Corps, specializing in aircraft maintenance, operational leadership, and project management. A Lean Six Sigma Green Belt, I have successfully led process improvement initiatives that streamlined workflows, optimized resource allocation, and enhanced operational efficiency across various aircraft platforms, including the AH-1Z Viper, UH-1Y Venom, CH-53 Super Stallion, MV-22 Osprey, F-35 Lightning II, F/A-18 E/F Super Hornet, and EA-18G Growler. I have extensive experience leading cross-functional teams, managing transitions of aircraft systems and support equipment, and ensuring compliance with safety and regulatory standards. Through data-driven strategies, I’ve consistently improved maintenance workflows and minimized downtime, resulting in increased mission readiness. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Logistics and Supply Chain Management and various professional certifications, including an Airframes & Powerplants Mechanic license and Private Pilot License. In addition to my aviation expertise, I’m skilled in project management, continuous improvement, and stakeholder engagement, with a strong record of success in streamlining complex operations. Now transitioning to civilian roles, I am eager to apply my military-proven leadership and Lean Six Sigma expertise to civilian industries such as aviation, logistics, and operations management. My goal is to lead projects, enhance operational processes, and drive organizational success by leveraging my skills in process improvement, project management, and team leadership.
