I am passionate about inspiring people to be their best and envisioning solutions that answer complex, real-world problems. I enjoy creating the right environment for our teams to succeed and thrive. I often tell our team that my most important role is as the “Chief Morale Officer” for the organization and I believe that. I want to make my organization the best place in the world to work that will ultimately deliver the best technology. And one more thing, I am passionate about college sports as well. #WARDAMNEAGLEMy career has spanned from missile design, to early adoption and technical leadership of UAS development, to both Government and corporate executive leadership. I was fortunate to be a senior leader within the US Army during a tremendously exciting time when the basis for the Army’s current Unmanned System strategy was launched. All of the current production systems in the US Army inventory were launched under my leadership. I led some amazing people who also went on to do other amazing things.The same passion for the ‘next big thing’ led me to leave the Government in pursuit of doing more for our warfighters. Today, I lead a large organization at SNC that covers a lot of surface area. My portfolio at a glance is inspiring 1,300+ employees, supporting 35+ customers, deploying 50+ technologies across 19 locations and 3 countries, managing 3 legal subsidiaries, and executing 300+ active contracts. My organization excels at electronic deep sensing, data protection/exploitation, network connectivity, cyber effects, and large scale platform integration. We are currently predicting 35 percent year-over-year growth around the world.
