As the Director of Rural Colorado Services at Mt. Carmel Veterans Service Center, I oversee and coordinate the delivery of wraparound services for veterans, transitioning military members, and their families in the southern region of the state. I leverage my 30+ years of leadership and management experience in the U.S. Army, where I served two combat tours in Iraq and received the Purple Heart, two Bronze Stars, and the Legion of Merit for my outstanding service and achievements.I am passionate about easing the outcomes of decades of war and years of selfless service, and helping my fellow veterans access the resources and opportunities they need and deserve. I have extensive skills and knowledge in operations management, strategic planning, project management, crisis management, quality assurance, conflict resolution, logistics, staff development, and public speaking. I also have a strong network of partners and stakeholders in the state, local, and federal governments, and the nonprofit sector, who share my vision and mission of empowering and supporting the veteran community.
