Winston-Salem, North Carolina, United States
Executive leader operating at the intersection of defense innovation, space operations, and veteran impact; translating operational realities into strategy, funding, and execution. My career was forged in Air Force Special Warfare, and today I focus on helping senior decision-makers build resilient teams, modernize mission planning, and deliver outcomes that hold up under real-world pressure. In my commercial role, I lead business development and growth strategy in support of U.S. Space Force initiatives, building strategic partnerships and aligning advanced planning capabilities to mission needs across Space Systems Command, Combat Forces Command, and Space Training and Readiness Command. I work directly with senior leaders to shape requirements, de-risk adoption, and convert complex operational challenges into executable, resourced plans. As Executive Director of the TACP Foundation, I am accountable for the strategy, funding, and performance of national programs serving Tactical Air Control Party Airmen, veterans, and their families. This includes Community Engagement, Operator Development, Resilience & Restoration, and Gold Star Family support. I also lead our Donor Partnerships efforts which are cultivating and stewarding relationships with individual, corporate, and institutional partners to sustain and grow our impact over time. From combat zones to executive forums, I’ve learned that credibility comes from delivering. I specialize in aligning cross-functional teams, establishing clear operating rhythms, and driving disciplined execution so that strategy, people, and resources move in the same direction. I’m open to connecting with leaders in defense, philanthropy, and technology who are focused on strengthening the national defense ecosystem and expanding high-impact support for the warfighters and families who bear the weight of our nation’s commitments.
Empowering military staffs with cutting-edge planning and decision-making tools. At Onebrief, I help defense organizations adopt AI-powered, collaborative software that transforms operational planning and enables real-time, smarter decisions. Proud to be part of a mission-driven team supporting global defense leaders.
