Welcome to my LinkedIn profile! I am an energetic, enthusiastic, and experienced attorney admitted in Illinois and California. I have a strong ethical center as well as high-level interpersonal, legal, strategic thinking, communication, and organizational skills. My track record demonstrates an ability to lead and contribute at the highest organizational level. I am particularly interested in operating at the intersection of commercial and legal interests to bridge the gap—where a gap exists. I have 20+ years of global experience (including remote, austere, and hostile environments) in whole life-cycle commercial contract management (i.e. pre-award, performance, and closeout) on behalf of both the buy side and sell side in the defense, energy (U.S. DoE and commercial), minerals/precious metals, not-for-profit, and professional services industries (e.g. accounting, consulting, legal, and engineering). I am dedicated to exceptional customer service – with emphases on process improvement and effective communication – while cultivating a positive workplace. I am highly organized and detail-oriented with significant international experience in fast-paced, team-oriented and dynamic environments. Technical activities include: U.S. Government contracting (FAR/DFAR/DEAR); Commercial SCM/SRM (domestic and international); claims/disputes/litigation; business development/proposals; project controls; project accounting (FAS5); audit readiness/response (CPSR/CAS); program development, coordination, and management; employee training; recruitment; customer service; legal research; document review; due diligence; being an all-around nice guy and insufferable Chicago sports fan.
Listed skills include Procurement, Contract Management, Process Improvement, Leadership, and 46 others.
