Your Partner in Communication

I worked my way up through the ranks … starting as a Marine Corps Private (E-1) and finishing my time in uniform as an Air Force Colonel (O-6). Although my military experience is coupled with formal training and education, I understand that leaders never stop learning. In the rapidly-changing information environment, I enjoy learning from others while sharing my experiences for the good of the team. 

I believe a group succeeds when individual members are invested in being a part of it. I take pride in helping communications teams by removing obstacles – so they can focus on getting after the work that needs to be done.

Hobbies

Out of Office

When I’m not working, I cherish moments spent with family and friends.

I believe in the importance of carving out time for activities that replenish the soul and nourish the mind. One of my passions is collecting vinyl records, with each album holding a unique story or a song that sparks a memory. Whether bonding over music finding solace in quiet moments, I find joy in simple pleasures.
