Whether I am involved in retooling engagement processes, creating new delivery methodologies, or fire jumping and resolving operational challenges, you can find me at the front lines executing and accomplishing the mission.  I am a proud Veteran of the United States Army and have spent time in the Middle East area of operations in civilian capacities supporting the warfighters.
