CAREER SUMMARY & SKILLS

After graduating from the U.S. Air Force Academy, I spent 15+ years

directing every aspect of logistics from supply chain and distribution to

resource utilization and cost reduction. In addition to managing Department

of Defense award winning organizations with up to $1.2 Billion in annual

sales, I was privileged to create a supply and distribution program from

scratch for an Iraqi Air Base and was critical to establishing a unified

Supply Chain for NATO. My experience, leadership, inter-personal and

communication skills have been tested and proven at the local, national and

international levels.
