I have traveled an exceptionally diverse path through life, far from the normal career path of a military pilot. I'd love to share how these experiences have produced a highly-adaptive problem-solving ability that I can translate to any environment.I've learned along the way that my best performance is fostered when I'm managing situations and solving problems that allow time for a calculated response, yet still have a sense of urgency that requires someone who can focus on identifying and resolving the most urgent problems at hand.I am most productive when allowed the freedom to choose projects that engage my passions. If you have a problem, no idea how to approach it, let alone how to solve it, but you know its going to take some tough, creative problem-solving - I'm your guy to be a member of, or leading, the team to tackle it.I am looking for a position that requires the operational and managerial experience I've accumulated throughout my military career, while engaging my creative, tinkering, mechanical engineering roots.Experienced Operations Manager with a strong background in aviation, safety, facilities, contract, and program management. Extensive history of excellence in demanding positions in high-level, high-risk, austere, and combat support environments. Proven record of success through team-building in new and diverse fields.Geographic Experience:US, UK, Iceland, Western Europe, Middle East and Southwest Asia.Extracurricular:Avid motorcyclist - club-level GP Roadracer, Adventure Rider, Dirt RiderAutocrosser; 4x4 Offroader; Shade Tree Mechanic (if I was honest about my mechanic skills, that might be more of a shrubbery mechanic...)Skier; SCUBA diver; World ExplorerHobbyist sausage maker (no, seriously), meat curer and smoker.<​script type="text/javascript" src="https://platform.linkedin.com/badges/js/profile.js" async defer><​/script>
