Bio

I am actively seeking new challenges. In these challenging times, Companies must be innovative, collaborative and agile. With twenty-five years as a U.S. Army commissioned officer (retired) and within the private sector, my expertise is in building high performance teams and providing leadership for up to 160,000 personnel. I possess a strong track record leading large-scale projects. I served for twenty years as a U.S. Army commissioned Officer. I've worked in both Baghdad, Iraq, and at the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia, earning a Bronze Star in 2006. During my time with the U.S. Army, I also received my MSA from Central Michigan University. Since my retirement in 2009, I have worked at companies such as Computer Sciences Corporation and Eagle Systems (Columbia Group) and Man Tech International.
