About

For nearly 30 years, I have had the privilege of leading organizations dedicated to one purpose: serving the people who serve our nation. Throughout my career, I have led global operations supporting military communities across the United States, Europe, and the Indo-Pacific, helping ensure service members and their families have the support, resources, and community services they need wherever they live, train, deploy, and recover. My experience spans enterprise strategy, global field operations, organizational transformation, leadership development, crisis response, and mission delivery across complex, geographically dispersed organizations. I have been fortunate to work alongside military leaders, senior enlisted advisors, government officials, academic institutions, nonprofit organizations, industry partners, and volunteers who share a commitment to service. These collaborations have reinforced my belief that the most enduring impact comes from organizations that unite people around a shared purpose. As I look to the next chapter of my career, I am excited by opportunities to help mission-driven organizations strengthen operations, develop leaders, inspire innovation, and expand their impact for military members, veterans, families, and the communities that support them.
