I managed the business between Crane and several of our strategic customers, including major aircraft OEM's (civil and defense) and Tier 1 integrators, to ensure their success in using our products and services. These businesses totaled nearly one billion dollars in contracts, and I negotiated or assisted in the negotiation of an additional several hundred million dollars in contracts for new or existing products and services. I created the financial model used to analyze the RFQ and Crane's proposal for a $600M contract extension for our largest customer. Ultimately, I was responsible for being the "Voice of the Customer"​ within Crane to assist in creating products and services that met our customers' needs.

As a leader on the sales team, I led the pursuit of VVIP and Head-of-State aircraft interior completions with a focus on Boeing Business Jets for clients in the Middle East. Our customers and prospective customers included members of ruling families and the leaders of quasi-governmental organizations responsible for operating airline fleets for the countries' leadership.

I worked very closely with international airlines while in two separate Boeing organizations:While in Commercial Aviation Services (now BGS), I worked with European airline customers to resolve their in-service issues, and I conducted reliability reviews to improve my customers' on-time performance. These reviews were held with the airlines' management, usually including their VP's of Maintenance and Engineering. A working knowledge of the customer contracts was required to understand the levels of service and support that were due to each customer. I was able to help several of my customers improve their on-time dispatch metrics.While working for Airplane Programs, I led the team of engineers, purchasing agents and configuration professionals to configure, design, and deliver twin-aisle airplanes to international airline customers, primarily in the Middle East. These were extremely complex programs involving the flight deck, premium and economy seating, galleys, in-fight entertainment systems, and virtually every visible surface within the aircraft cabin. The first of these programs delivered 15 months after firm configuration, a process that usually requires 30-36 months. All my programs delivered on time and without configuration or engineering errors. And as an important member of the Sales team, I played a key role in the sale of 20+ additional twin-aisle airplanes (~$6B) to my customers. I was responsible for managing the delivery of dozens of twin-aisle aircraft, gaining the customers' technical acceptance of the aircraft and negotiating the final delivery contracts for the resolution of any unresolved issues. This required close coordination with flight line operations, engineering, and other organizations at Boeing.

As a sales professional, I assisted individual and corporate clients in their risk mitigation and investment strategies. I grew the business from a start-up to more than 300 clients, attaining "Council" status in three of my four full council years for meeting or exceeding sales goals.

I taught Naval Science courses to freshman and sophomore students who were studying to become professional officers in the naval service. I also assisted my students with general academic guidance, and I provided training in seamanship to all midshipmen through sail training instruction. I wrote the standard operating procedure for operating the Luders 44 Yawl and managed the refurbishment of the vessel after acquisition from the Naval Academy.

As a young naval officer in an S-3A Viking squadron, I was responsible for tactics, navigation and communications aboard the aircraft. I also was responsible for leading approximately 30 avionics technicians, both shore-based and while deployed aboard USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN-69). I mentored senior enlisted team members in leadership fundamentals and worked with them to improve productivity in the maintenance of the aircraft. Some of my supplemental duties included acting as the squadron's Communications Officer, Cryptography Custodian, and Special Weapons Training Officer. I also conducted full-motion simulator training for flight crews. I held a Top Secret security clearance.
