I currently work in the education sector as the Director of Operations for the Aspen Institute’s College Excellence Program. Prior to this role, I spent two decades as an entrepreneur, business leader, and consultant. I have provided strategy and operations expertise for social impact organizations with global reach. I led a nationwide, Inc. 5000 technology services company as its Chief Operating Officer. I managed venture capital initiatives to create groundbreaking unmanned systems for public safety and national security. I built and ran a consulting practice that delivered enterprise transformation solutions for government, nonprofits, and the Fortune 500. I live in Falls Church, VA with my wife and three kids, am an active volunteer in our community, and serve as a Board Member for two nonprofits. In 2019, I earned a doctorate from the University of Southern California's Global Executive Ed.D. program.
