I am a retired Major from the Army National Guard and led Engineer organizations (both combat and construction). I've commanded units during two natural disaster recovery operations and prepared logistics for a third: severe flooding in Ohio, hurricane relief in Virginia, and planned for post-Katrina. The military provided excellent training and real world experience in leadership, coaching, program management, and operating within a crisis. I carried that experience with me into my civilian career.

I have served six weeks abroad for the Army, but never in a combat zone. Both times it was for construction operations and "nation building," once in Germany and once in Jamaica (post-hurricane Gilbert recovery).

I am passionate about working with technically gifted people to create magical experiences that impact large communities.

Over the years, I have found that growing and developing people gives me a great deal of joy; especially when they go on to surpass my expectations. When they create technology that engages and delights others, I know that I have had a lasting impact.
