Career highlights

For thirty years, I have served this nation in numerous capacities and although many, many times it required difficult sacrifice I can truly say that my military brothers and sisters became my family away from home and we all helped each other get through the tough times. I will never forget you and much of my success is because of you.

My leadership career started as a Flight Officer and Mission Commander on the “Looking Glass” nuclear airborne command post, became Force Protection Officer in Bahrain, requested as Anti-Terrorism/Force Protection (ATFP) Subject Matter Expert system design for Naval Information Warfare Center (NIWC) Pacific, a Battle Watch Captain in Baghdad during the surge, and finished as Branch Head leading a 50-person (gov’t/contractor) software development/engineering team designing, creating and installing ATFP systems for NIWC Pacific.

Every mission had the same standard: zero margin for error when lives and critical assets were on the line. My expertise was honed under Col Joe Molofsky, a Force Recon Marine, who shaped this professional into a warrior.

Key achievements

I’ve run real-time crisis response during terrorist attacks on U.S. diplomatic posts in Jeddah and Karachi, delivered a $14 million situational-awareness system for a foreign government, linked eleven regional operations centers into one global common operating picture, and built the command-and-control backbone for the Navy’s first large autonomous warship.

Regions served

United States · Mexico · Middle East · Pakistan · Egypt · Kenya · Europe · Trinidad & Tobago · Puerto Rico

Credentials

I retired holding a Secret clearance, now eligible for reinstatement, and the same fire I had on day one.

Today I bring the exact same military-grade planning, threat intelligence, technology integration, and calm-under-fire leadership to my clients:

I’ve seen the chaos, commanded through it, and brought everyone home. Give me a call.
