Summary

I spent over 20 years in the U.S. Army leading, training, evaluating, and developing Soldiers and leaders in some of the military's most demanding environments, from combat deployments in Iraq and Afghanistan to the Army's Joint Readiness Training Center (JRTC), one of the military's premier training and evaluation environments. Throughout my career, I served in leadership, training, operational, and advisory roles of increasing responsibility, overseeing personnel development, organizational readiness, performance assessments, and mission execution. Trusted to mentor leaders, evaluate unit effectiveness, and provide recommendations to senior decision-makers, I built a reputation for enforcing standards, developing high-performing teams, and improving organizational performance. My career was defined by leadership, accountability, technical expertise, and a commitment to excellence in complex and high-pressure environments.
