📖 Summary

I'm a 8 year Army veteran with experience as a network and communications leader working in Iraq and Afghanistan. I have a BS in Applied Networking and Systems Administration and I am two thirds of the way through a Master of Software Engineering from Penn State. As a communications officer in the Army I've spent the last eight years ensuring that leaders and soldiers can communicate in the most challenging, complex, and dangerous environments in the world. With experience as both a planner and execution manager I've work with multi-functional and multi-talented groups to create solutions that meet demanding business objectives. My greatest talent as a leader is communicator between technical experts and operational leaders who are focused on the big picture. Bringing people with the vision together with the technical expertise to make it a reality is the most important step in any endeavor.
