I offer 10+ years of overlapping professional experience leading people, operations, and strategy for products, programs, and crisis response. I am a "good plan now vs better plan later" believer. I re-approach with the better plan once the dust settles. I hold our people sacred. I earn people's deep trust in both austere field and corporate environments internationally, because I give people the time of day. Being a keystone ambassador between my teams' stakeholders and strategic partners comes naturally to me. People everywhere seek me out to explain “the why” behind decisions and strategies, even when I was not involved, and for my guidance on their goals. I have been called a sherpa.I spent 2.5 years managing retail supply chain crises in corporate America (Amazon), 1.5 years inventing a product and starting my own business (Solid Steve), 2.5 years planning for war and humanitarian efforts in the Asia-Pacific region (US Army), 1.5 years training to be a special operations civil affairs officer at Fort Bragg, NC (US Army), 1 year managing human resources and planning joint training for executive protection details in Washington D.C. (US Army), and 2 years enforcing law and order in Europe (US Army). Today, I write nonfiction, instruct and compete in shooting, study the future of farming, and practice cowboy camping.Sincerely,Steve———List of countries I have represented the USA 🇺🇸 on official business: the Philippines 🇵🇭, Japan 🇯🇵, Singapore 🇸🇬 , Thailand 🇹🇭, Germany 🇩🇪, France 🇫🇷, Belgium 🇧🇪, Italy 🇮🇹, Slovenia 🇸🇮, Slovakia 🇸🇰, Hungary 🇭🇺, Czech Republic 🇨🇿, Austria 🇦🇹, Poland 🇵🇱, Lithuania 🇱🇹, Latvia 🇱🇻, and Estonia 🇪🇪.
