All human beings set patterns—patterns that are detectable, measurable, and therefore predictable. By recognizing, understanding, and articulating these human behavior patterns, organizations can determine likely intents and predict future actions, enabling proactive interventions and strategic decision-making.As the Senior Vice President of Operations at Arcadia Cognerati, I specialize in assessing, developing, and implementing training and education programs that address urgent safety, security, and organizational performance needs in some of the most challenging environments worldwide.With over 20 years of experience, I have conducted real-world operations and training across the United States, the Middle East, and both Central and East Asia. My background includes multiple deployments to the Al Anbar Province of Iraq as a Marine Scout Sniper, roles as a High Threat Protection security professional, and serving as a Subject Matter Expert on Human Behavior Pattern Recognition & Analysis.I have worked as a strategic, operational, and tactical-level advisor to several U.S. government agencies and numerous public and private companies. My expertise in operational planning and execution, combined with a deep understanding of decision-making processes, has been leveraged by senior executives to enhance organizational performance, drive strategic initiatives, and improve efficiency.I hold a Bachelor's Degree in Political Science from Arizona State University and a Master's in Applied Psychology from the University of Southern California.Throughout my career, I've learned a valuable lesson: when it comes to behavior, people are the same all over the world. I specialize in training individuals and organizations to make better decisions in volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous environments by enhancing their ability to sense-make and problem-solve. This not only improves safety and security but also drives organizational improvement and growth.
