I am a dreamer with my feet firmly planted in the fertile soil of what could be. Believing the only folks who think “outside the box” are ones who placed themselves inside that box. I am a transitioning veteran of the US Army’s Special Forces (The Green Berets) and a visionary searching for the next hill to climb. About meI am a loving husband, fervent dad, passionate explorer, and outdoors enthusiast. Focused and bold, I believe in what I do and what I do can be believed in. I am an elite communicator combined with the proven ability to build relations and manage competing demands that result in achieving challenging goals.Core QualificationsI am an accomplished and results-driven professional with progressive experience in researching, creating and implementing strategic business and operations plans. I possess strong skills in executing training programs, leading departmental operations, and identifying and mitigating potential risks. I am also an analytical planner adept at identifying and isolating business and operational challenges, as well as devising solutions to resolutely mitigate issues. (*Certified Project Master = PMP equivalent)Gallup Strengths(Learner, Responsibility, Individualization, Deliberative, Analytical)I refuse to let my mind grow dull by being complacent. I enjoy reflecting on what I already know in order to determine what I want to know. In doing so, I assume accountability, am dependable, trustworthy, and have consistent values. I abhor stovepipes of excellence that seldom are and, by nature, will bring people together. Skilled, knowledgeable, and earnest, I believe in listening first when problems arise. Often described as realistic and practical, I will let reason guide the proper solution and the correct conclusion. None of this is possible without humor and being human along the way.
