I began my career in Cyber Systems Operations and as a Combat Skills Instructor while serving as enlisted on active duty in the U.S. Air Force with an elite combat communications unit. Later, I became a member of a Special Operations Wing where I completed graduate studies, and commissioned as an officer. As an IT Professional, I have served in senior leadership positions and been recognized globally as a top performer for a Fortune 500 company, federal, state, and municipal governments. Most recently, I served as a Chief Technology Officer and Startup Advisor. I have worked closely with Fortune 100 Chief Executives, U.S. Military Special Operators, Cabinet Secretaries, Professional Musicians, and Celebrities. I regularly participate in discussion panels and deliver keynote addresses alongside industry CXOs from the world's leading corporations. Currently, I serve on the Advisory Boards for a global non-profit organization and several professional associations. I love a good laugh, music, great food, volunteering for good causes, and engaging in outdoor activities and high adventure that takes me away from a computer screen"
