I enjoy the intersection of national security and business, which explains how I ended up being an Intelligence Officer with an MBA degree. This allows me to understand the Defense Department from the inside, see the challenges facing the US, and identify the role of businesses to meet defense needs. I’ve captured my thoughts on the defense innovation ecosystems in a series of articles for the Defense Entrepreneurs Forum, where I volunteer on the national committee.My life has been a mixture of pursing this passion, raising a family, and living in interesting places. I’ve been fortunate to work as a consultant and in the intelligence community while living on two continents and a tropical island. Along the way I’ve had the pleasure of leading teams, mentoring junior analysts, joining two Russia crisis teams, and delivering many early morning briefings.
