On June 26, 2002, I enlisted in the U.S. Army in response to the 9/11 attacks that occurred in my home state. Over the course of my 21-plus years of service, I participated in four combat tours across Afghanistan and Iraq. Beginning on August 8, 2010, holding the rank of Staff Sergeant, I embarked on my journey to transition into an Army Officer.Completing this transition, on May 10, 2012, I graduated with honors (Summa Cum Laude) from Campbell University, earning an Applied Science Degree, and was subsequently commissioned as an Aviation Officer. After finishing flight school, I achieved qualification on the UH-60A/L Blackhawk helicopter. In my personal life, I am married to my wonderful wife Mariana, and together we are blessed with three beautiful children.As a Retiree Aviation Officer (MAJ) with over 21 years of service in the US Army, I have demonstrated exemplary leadership, strategic thinking, and problem-solving skills in various operational and managerial roles. I have led, planned, coordinated, and executed complex and high-stakes missions and projects across multiple domains, ensuring optimal readiness, performance, and safety of personnel and equipment. I have also acquired and applied valuable credentials, such as Active Top Secret-SCI clearance, Scrum Master certification, and Spanish proficiency, to enhance my effectiveness, versatility as a leader, and team player.I am passionate about leveraging my extensive experience and expertise in strategic operations management, program management, project management, process improvement, organizational leadership, and mentoring to pursue new opportunities and challenges in technology-oriented industries. I am eager to learn from and collaborate with innovative and diverse professionals who share my vision and values of excellence, integrity, and service. I am confident that I can bring significant value and positive impact to any organization that seeks to harness the power of technology to improve lives and communities.
