My unconventional journey began in the U.S. Marine Corps, where I managed advanced avionics and flight control systems. In this high-pressure environment, I honed precision, leadership, and adaptability—qualities that have become the foundation of my career.While on active duty, I captured a supernova in the Whirlpool Galaxy using a remote telescope in Spain. This rare achievement deepened my fascination with exploration and reinforced my belief in pushing boundaries.After leaving the Marines, I transitioned to astrophysics research at the Wisconsin Plasma Physics Laboratory, where I developed innovative instrumentation improvements that enhanced diagnostic precision, enabling more accurate velocity and viscosity measurements among other impacts.At Intel, as a corporate strategist, I leveraged my multidisciplinary expertise to craft resilient strategies and guide the development of next-generation technologies. I led initiatives in emerging technologies and co-designed geopolitical and technological wargames. These simulations and exercises informed executive and board-level decision-making, resulting in strategic playbooks that proactively addressed market disruptions and geopolitical shifts.Driven by an entrepreneurial spirit, I founded an AI-powered startup that serves as a pioneering strategy hub, building ventures in consulting, media, and intelligence analysis. Using our proprietary Strategic Intelligence Center, we deliver actionable insights that drive innovation and competitive advantage across industries. My forthcoming book (title to be announced soon) provides a roadmap for understanding and thriving in the rapidly changing global landscape, blending historical insights with forward-looking strategies.Mentorship and service are core to who I am. I actively mentor young professionals and military veterans & volunteer as a physics judge for a local science fair. An avid reader with interests spanning history, military strategy, economics, and advanced technology, I believe in lifelong learning.Traveling to over 30 countries across six continents and learning Russian and Persian (Farsi) have broadened my global perspective and deepened my appreciation for cultures and ancient civilizations.I am eager to collaborate with leaders, innovators, and policymakers on projects driving technological advancement and strategic growth. Whether through consulting, speaking engagements, or partnerships, I am committed to making a meaningful impact.Please reach out—I look forward to connecting!
