My professional passion is to solve problems and remove the obstacles that stand in the way of employee success, operational fluidity, and collective excellence. I experience great fulfillment connecting with less experienced individuals, building high performance teams, and mentoring professional advancement. Throughout an award-winning career in the United States Marine Corps, I advanced regularly to positions of increased purview, and was comfortable being entrusted with oversight of hundreds of personnel, dozens of high-performing departments and programs, and $200M+ regional OPEX/CAPEX budgets. At heart, I’m a unifier. I lead with empathy. I eliminate communications siloes to bring factions together in cohesiveness and same-page focus. My desire—always—is to make a difference; to figure out how to help everyone win together, and make a more poignant impact. Just a handful of examples of career success have included:***Delivering 25% productivity and 33% readiness increases organization-wide through Lean Management directives and creation and implementation of a new, robust operational readiness plan ***Overseeing an infrastructure sustainment initiative spanning six projects that included negotiating a $138M US Military contract commitment***Streamlining the aircraft allocation process with Air Force’s Air and Space Operations Center to increase stakeholder awareness, reduce communication times 50%, and increase mission support 200%***Recognition with Meritorious Service Medal for “exceptional professionalism and leadership”, as Director of Operations with 1st Marine Aircraft Wing, Okinawa, Japan***Creating and teaching a pilot education program that increased student productivity and knowledge 50%, and reduced program failures 10%. (Recognized by Chief of Naval Air Training as a model program; adopted by all Naval Training Wings)…***Comments on a recent evaluation: “Decisions reflect exceptional insight beyond [his] experience. Widely sought-after to resolve the most critical, complex problems. Recognized as an intellectual leader in professionally-related topics. An inspiration to subordinates, peers, and seniors…” A proud veteran, I served in combat operations in both Iraq and Afghanistan. While there, the lessons I learned about camaraderie, leadership, and selflessness continue to define my ethos. Today, I find myself newly energized, and ready to transition to the Private/Corporate sector in a global operations role with a forward-thinking enterprise. …and I welcome contact through LinkedIn.
