About

Leadership built under pressure.

I am a DoD-cleared technology leader, former U.S. Army Ranger, and hands-on engineer with a career spanning secure enterprise networking, unified communications, infrastructure, cybersecurity, and mission operations.

My leadership foundation was forged in the 1st Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment, where standards are non-negotiable, communication must be clear, and preparation has to account for friction before it arrives. I carry that same discipline into every technical program and every team I lead.

I progressed from building and sustaining tactical communications in deployed environments to leading enterprise modernization and secure infrastructure delivery for high-consequence aerospace and defense programs. I remain close enough to the technology to challenge assumptions, translate complex requirements, develop capable teams, and remain accountable for the result.
