As a retired Florida Highway Patrol Trooper, CTO and Chief Administrative Officer, I've gained decades of experience working within state government in increasingly complex roles with vast areas of responsibility. My areas of expertise include legislative processes, bill drafting, and analysis; technology implementation and consulting; government procurement and budgeting processes; and stakeholder relations. As a current member of the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators Identity Management Team, I am working to help jurisdictions gain the knowledge and tools they need to implement mobile Driver Licenses (mDL) so together we can drive the future of digital identity.I am also an inventor, entrepreneur, and small business owner, with a passion for innovation and problem-solving. I currently have patent pending for the Flip Pick, a device that helps guitar players switch between different playing styles quickly and easily. I co-own PFV Innovations, a company that develops and markets creative products for musicians and hobbyists. I have a B.S. in Political Science from Florida State University, and I am a certified Project Management Professional (PMP) and Florida Certified Contract Manager (FCCM). My mission is to leverage my skills and expertise to enhance efficiency, effectiveness, safety, and security for all.
