My current career started 24+ years ago volunteering in the Iowa National Guard as an enlisted wheeled vehicle mechanic and is culminating as a Special Forces (Green Beret) Sergeant Major in 2024. I contribute the values and attributes ingrained in me at a young age to my grandparents, family, and friends of a small farm town in rural Iowa. "I cultivate with purpose, so we can impact the harvest."This means that I develop and create options so that problems are solved, risks are mitigated, and opportunities are explored, so outcomes and potential are fully maximized. Dynamic leader with over two decades of unique domestic and international experiences serving in the U.S. Army Special Forces. An adaptable, decisive, and dependable team-member that fosters diversity of thought and creative problem solving to approach complex situations. Thrives in ambiguity, developing solutions, and builds relationships to achieve goals. I am transitioning from the U.S. Army in summer of 2024, and researching where to navigate my life's next adventure.
