After nine years of service in the world's greatest navy, I have transitioned to higher education at the University of Chicago to navigate and establish a more comprehensive framework surrounding geopolitics, national security, and finance.I'm an experienced leader with a demonstrated history of working in the military industry. I have a diverse skillset built on foundational experience working in maritime security, combat lifesaving, small boat operations, and project management. I have a history of operating through myriad environments, providing me the calmness necessary to effectively employ time-critical risk decision-making in high-stakes environments. I've spent the better part of the last two decades wandering the road less traveled and am excited to share my lessons and interact with fellow travelers.
