I am a 25-year Space Force/Air Force Veteran with a passion for Apollo space program, the Space Shuttle, and Neapolitan pizza. Although I could never qualify as an astronaut, I got as close as possible to my dream, eventually joining the US Space Force to support NASA and the DoD. I am an experienced leader and have a comprehensive background in strategic planning, operational execution, inter-agency coordination, and program/project/critical systems management. I have extensive knowledge in Space Operations with specializations in Space Domain Awareness, Space Launch, Electronic Warfare, and Missile Warning/Defense. I have an active TS-SCI security clearance, a MS in Aeronautics and Space Studies from Embry-Riddle, and a MBA from Colorado State.
