I’m a people-first leader who excels at leading technical teams in complex, high-stakes environments. With 20+ years of experience across corporate growth, aviation operations, technical sales, and engineering, I bring clarity, structure, and motivation to teams tasked with delivering results. I’ve led engineers, aviators, and sales professionals - keeping soldiers motivated and alive on battlefields, and helping to secure $8.4B+ in contract wins - by aligning people, strategy, and execution. My strengths are leadership, critical thinking, and team development, with a proven ability to translate technical complexity into clear direction and action. I loved flying, and the lessons from aviation still shape how I lead: preparation, communication, and trust build great teams. I’m focused on sales management and engineering management roles where I can develop people, strengthen teams, and drive growth.
