I’m a disciplined, mission-focused leader who spent 30 years in the U.S. Army building teams, solving complex logistical challenges, and leading under pressure. My career taught me the value of clarity, trust, and service—principles I carry into every role I pursue. With a Master’s in Public Administration and a passion for civic impact, I’m now channeling my experience into executive leadership opportunities where I can help communities thrive. I believe in leading with humility, making decisions with purpose, and always staying ready to serve. Whether in uniform or in city hall, I’m driven by the same goal: to make a meaningful difference.
