I retired from the US Army in June 2014 after 30 years of service. In my final assignment I was mobilized and deployed to South West Asia during 2013 and 2014 as the Army's Senior ACOR in Afghanistan managing linquist contracts nationwide. The linguist contract was responsible for 7,000 US and Afghan employees and valued at over $700mm annually.
