Bio
Transitioning military officer and deeply experience aviator (helicopter, single/multiple engine fixed wing) with over 2500 hours, to include 900 hours in combat.
Over 24 years of successful management and leadership experience with a reputation for meeting the most challenging organizational goals and objectives. A pragmatic and focused individual recognized for “making seemingly impossible situations work.” A proven and verifiable record for:
• Producing higher performance standards and enhancing productivity during a period of shrinking budgets.
• Managing maintenance & operational readiness – Improved a unit with 50% staffing, suffering from terrible morale, and frequently incurring Corrective Action Reports. Recognizing the contractor's need for help - worked to facilitate fresh hiring’s, a competent site lead, and the right balance of specialty technicians to meet the needs of our specialized fleet. My impact on maintenance operations was very strong; the unit subsequently had a 215% increase in aircraft availability and production rates, and a 28% reduction in hours lost due to maintenance.
24 year military career with both the U.S. Army and US Navy. Gained upper-level manager status. Served honorably in several overseas combat environments that included four tours in Iraq, Qatar, and Kuwait in support of Operations Desert Storm, Iraqi Freedom, and New Dawn. Also completed one tour of duty in Afghanistan in support of Operation Enduring Freedom.
A successful record for managing complex organizations that range from military police to aviation assets, supervising and training groups as small as four and as many as a hundred, responsible for millions of dollars in assets.
