Bio
Retired from the United States Army in 2014 after serving 28 years on active duty as a commissioned officer in the Army Corps of Engineers. A dynamic, results-oriented leader with demonstrated success in strategic planning, analysis, program management and process improvement. Highly focused, but adaptive. I can think two levels up, anticipate requirements and deliver results.
