I have over 20 years of experience as a retired special agent from the Air Force's Office of Special Investigations (OSI), where I pursued felony-level crimes and operated within the realms of counterintelligence and counterterrorism to identify, mitigate, and neutralize myriad threats to DoD personnel and resources.I have approximately 34 years of serving discretely in the security, protection, law enforcement, intelligence, and counterintelligence spaces. I hold an MBA from the Jack Welch Management Institute, an MA in International Security Studies (Russia & former Soviet/Warsaw Pact states) from the Naval Postgraduate School, and multiple certifications in entrepreneurship, customer loyalty, and teaching/facilitation. I also have foreign language capabilities in Russian, Serbo-Croatian, Bulgarian, Ukrainian, and Slovene. I am a nimble, goal-oriented leader, who motivates individuals from diverse backgrounds and skill sets toward achieving common objectives. I am an effective communicator throughout various organizational levels and committed to the highest degree of professional and personal excellence in my profession. I am always open to new challenging opportunities that allow me to apply my skills and knowledge in different contexts and domains.
