Over the last fourteen years, I have relentlessly pursued personal and professional goals, consistently achieving mission success. I also have a diverse set of professional and life experiences, including setbacks and failures. Those experiences spanned a diverse set of organizations, to include: the military, special operations, intelligence community, and commercial sector(s). The experiences - good and bad - also helped me to grow into a dynamic, energetic, creative, and honest leader. Further, I have sought out and held roles that consistently increased in responsibility. Starting at age 18 being the junior point-man on a foot patrol, to being the Vice Chair of an Executive Branch agency oversight body.
