THE PERSON BEHIND THE PROGRAMS
A steady hand.
A mission-first mindset.
For more than two decades, I’ve led complex technology and cybersecurity programs where the stakes are high and the mission comes first.
My work spans the Department of Defense and U.S. Space Force—from modernizing critical networks to leading cross-functional cyber operations teams. I believe great execution starts with trust, clear communication, and a shared sense of purpose.
