About
Title: Director/Department Head
I am a seasoned executive who has driven efficiencies and success throughout my career. Personnel development and mission accomplishment motivates me. Enrichment of personnel, processes, programs, and companies is how I achieve success.
I enjoy taking the hardest challenges. I have a proven track record of taking these opportunities and transforming them into industry benchmarks. My accomplishments have continually received high-praise; “You continue to amaze me…Every time you present new and better functionality to help us manage our business”, “increased production by 233% despite a 50% reduction in manning”, “analytic approach to all cross-functional business lanes...conducted a zero-based review of requirements…reduced manning requirements by half…that increased production 160%”, and “single-handedly designed and implemented a full-spectrum development program taking the lowest performing group to the highest performing group in a 13 state region in 2.5 years.”
I have worn many hats, such as Program Management Office Director, Cyber Director, Technical Analysis Center Deputy Commander, Strategic Portfolio Manager, Senior Program Manager, and more. I have authored dozens of directives, instructions, technical manuals, intelligence products, and programs to include ”a superior Target Motion Analysis program for submarine, surface, and air warfare communities that created a paradigm shift, significantly improving the Fleet's warfighting effectiveness.“ I have been responsible for reporting and briefings through all levels of the DoD and government to include Congress and the President.
My driving force is attempting to live by the following guiding principles: stay focused; be kind, be honest, put others first, love life, care for others, and strive to be Godly. My personal Code of Ethics as applied to business has evolved over the years and I have adopted these from the Universal Corporation’s former Chairman, President, and CEO, George C. Freeman III. They are to 1) work with integrity; 2) conduct business with integrity; and 3) handle information and assets with integrity.
