My purpose is to have a positive and significant impact on the people and organizations I work with both personally and professionally. A love of continuous learning pervades my life, and I use that to drive creative, team-centric solutions to any challenge I am faced with to keep work rewarding for both myself and my colleagues. One could describe me as an Agile-certified, technical leader who thrives on being on the leading edge of both technology and management. Much of my career was spent running technologically advanced projects, programs & portfolios for the Department of Defense, with the government equivalent of full P&L responsibility for them. I have worked in both the P&L and the Business Development worlds - and enjoy them both. I have extensive experience with all phases of product development, start-up fundraising, and am considered an expert in federal contracting & budgeting processes. I am Agile certified, a Green Belt in Lean Six Sigma, hold Defense Acquisition certifications in Program Management & Systems Engineering, and a Top Secret security clearance. I enjoy applying these skills to portfolios, programs and projects to find creative and cost effective solutions for customers. In my spare time I enjoy sailing, traveling, SCUBA, cooking and spending time with friends & family. My favorite charities are Big Cat Rescue, Angelman Foundation, Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, St Jude's, and the Catholic Medical Mission Board.
Listed skills include Program Management, Government Contracting, C4Isr, Military, and 43 others.
