I am a Special Forces veteran with 24 years of service to the United States as a leader, advisor and strategic planner during multiple high-risk deployments. I have been fortunate to build and lead several dynamic and diverse teams of subject matter experts, where I developed valuable interpersonal skills and insights into how organizational challenges and opportunities are interconnected. I am a lifelong learner, working to develop innovative and adaptive solutions by applying strategic thinking and an unconventional approach to solving complex problems.I am continually seeking to serve in positions that apply both my experience and education to contribute meaningfully to families, communities and society through the design and implementation of innovative, credible, and evidence-based solutions to today’s complex social challenges.
