NATO Allied Command Transformation Deputy for Federated Mission Networking development. I work daily with a diverse team of international military, civilian and support contractors in the US and Europe to develop and deliver the Federated Mission Networking implementation plan for NATO. The implementation of this capability will institutionalize and streamline the process that NATO and the coalition in Afghanistan accomplished with the Afganistan Mission Network. Future Alliance operations will be greatly enhanced by having an established and practiced way of linking our command and control systems and human to human interfaces.

Primarily responsible for the staffing and approval process for US Army Tactical Radio requirements. Worked across the Department of Defense, Joint Staff and individually with other services on developing the JTRS Rifleman Radio requirements. In association with the US Army Signal Center, developed the documentation and managed the approval process for this system. The Rifleman Radio Capability Production Document was one of the most concise and focused requirements documents to be approved at ARCIC and subsequent JROC. The system itself went from concept to production in less than four years. I also worked the JTRS Ground Mobile Radio requirements. This was a trouble program with many technical and budgetary concerns. Ii worked the Program Mangers, Army Staff, Joint Staff, Industry and the other interested services to find better solution to the Army Tactical Radio requirements and procurement. The result of the streamlining was the development of the Network Integration Evaluation to integrate communication technologies in an operational setting. This lead to the eventual demise of the legacy Ground Mobile Radio System and the opportunity for more mature technologies to enter into competition.

Provided communications assets to over 50 Counter IED teams spread throughout the Afghanistan Theater of Operations. I provided daily communications planning and expertise to the Brigade Headquarters and subordinate elements. Lead a team of 15 Army, Navy, Air Force and Civilian personnel on an every changing variety of missions. I helped with the planning and stand up of the Afghanistan Mission Network; a key enabler to the NATO coalition.

Served as a Systems Engineer in the Communications and Information Systems directorate on the Multinational Force Iraq Staff. Responsible to provide communication s planning and trouble shooting for the newly formed multinational Biometnric Identification task-force and the Detainee Operations Task Force. Conducted close coordination with multiple nations and organisations to bring together a host of different biometric identification systems into a coordinated effort. Through this initial work biometric enrollment and identification became standardized and disparate systems were better able to work in a cohesive way.
