WORK EXPERIENCE

2010 to present United States Department of State

Kabul, Afghanistan

As the Administrator of Justice Construction/Infrastructure Manager (AOJ

CM) United States Department of State/ International Narcotics and Law

Enforcement (INL) I worked closely with the Bureau's Program Directors,

Managers, and Specialists responsible for developing and implementing the

DoS/INL-related programs. The AOJ CM for Afghanistan serves as Justice,

Corrections and Infrastructure expert in Afghanistan. AOJ CM provided

technical infrastructure and construction direction and expertise in a wide

variety of settings, including internal U.S. embassy and multi-national

meetings. Assisted the Government of Afghanistan in reaching its stated

goals and objectives in reforming the infrastructure system in Afghanistan.

Provided direction, policy, procedure, and strategies on multiple levels.

As AOJ CM I worked with the Government of Afghanistan and INL to develop

and implement an overall, realistic, sustainable infrastructure plan in

Afghanistan. This plan was coordinated with other international donors and

the U.S. military.

AJO CM managed, monitored, and maintained all DoS Major International Sub-

contractors such as but not limited to Dyn-Corp International, PAE, Fluor

(FFG), U S Department of Defense (DoD), etc,

Closely liaison with other international donors and PRTs to ensure that

infrastructure efforts are not duplicative.

(GTM) Government Technical Monitors on selected justice and corrections

infrastructure projects in Afghanistan.

Directorates (CPD) facilities director.

Worked closely with the CPD to develop a robust facilities maintenance

program. Served as an advisory resource for INL/Kabul, INL/AP, CJIATF, and

Afghan officials on specific aspects of planning and implementation of

ongoing infrastructure programs in Afghanistan.

Provided policy analysis and program guidance to INL/Kabul, INL/AP, and

Afghan officials on all aspects of infrastructure matters, addressing any

of a number of issues related to infrastructure system reform.

Organized and participated in meetings, seminars, and exercises to develop

plans/programs for implementation of corrections and infrastructure

assistance in Afghanistan and improve overall capacities to effectively

modernize existing institutions.

Attended domestic and international conferences on Government of

Afghanistan justice infrastructure reforms.

Prepared background materials, presentations, and reports used by the

DoS/INL Director in preparing reports, speeches, briefings, and testimony

to articulate DoS/INL engagement on infrastructure reform aspects in

Afghanistan.

Participated in outreach activities with domestic and international law

enforcement communities to increase awareness of INL programs and policies

and solicited greater cooperation and participation.

Developed and delivered training to GIRoA/CPD personnel as necessary to

ensure that all projects are independently sustainable through internal CPD

capacities.

The AOJ CM was required to receive, review, and provide suggested changes

to design documents and construction plans. Design review included, but

Mechanical elements evaluations and other duties as requested and assigned,

including other infrastructure projects for the other sections of INL, by

the INL Director and Deputy Director.

Guideline

Guidelines consist of USG and Department of State Acquisition Regulations,

and accepted engineering and architectural principles and theories. In

addition the AOJ CM must be able to determine application of basic

administrative policy statements concerning the issue or problem being

studied, and may include reference to pertinent legislative history,

related court decisions, state and local laws, or policy initiatives of

agency management. The AOJ CM must also consider and adhere to various

other existing federal regulations, and the interaction between DOS

policies, legislation, the Foreign Assistance Act, and other authorization

and appropriations in the INL account, applicable National Security and

Presidential Decision Directives, OMB Circulars, and DOS financial

operating procedures and policies.

The AOJ CM is recognized as a substantive authority on overall management

and/or interpretation of guidance on program and project planning and

evaluation in a specialized area.

Complexity

Developed detailed plans, goals, and objectives for the long-range

implementation and administration of the program, and/or developed criteria

for evaluating the effectiveness of the program.

Coordinate plans with various other groups including international donors,

the U.S. military and the Government of Afghanistan. This proved to be

sensitive and complicated, successful.

These Programs/Projects require dynamic leadership and expertise and

complex innovation, strict adherence to high level policy without lower

level interpretive assistance, and the ability to single-handedly or in

concert with a variety of other stakeholders resolve critical problems and

achieve difficult goals that may impact other programs.

They were broad in scope and complicated by many complex features,

technical, administrative, or political in nature.
