PROFESSIONAL PROFILE

A leader and educator with 33 years of experience as a military officer and Project Manager as well as 25 years of experience in public schools who has been recognized by the United States Army for creating and leading an “Institution of Excellence”, as the commander of the 426th Regional Training Institution. Ethics, integrity, cultural awareness, and a desire to improve drive my decisions.

Human Resources: Collaboratively created a new organization within The Wisconsin Army National Guard called Pre-Mobilization and Training Assistance (PTAE). This involved recruiting and hiring 60 personnel within a 90 day window to train and document training for over 4,000 Wisconsin soldiers deploying to overseas combat zones. As a Battalion and Brigade Commander managed a unit of 520 soldiers and a staff of eight.

Fiscal Management: Managed a budget of approximately $10 million. Made fiscal decisions based upon course quotas, needs of the military, and students to instructor ratios with the objective of keeping the maximum number of military courses the unit could teach in a constrained resource environment. As Project manager for the Lebanese Comprehensive Training Program (CTP), responsible for a budget of $2.2 million. Also responsible for the in-country financial and operational management of the project to include Estimate at Complete (EAC), and Real Time Projection (RTP) reports in addition to verifying payroll.

Professional Development: Developed an officer development plan which required military officers to set professional goals which nested with the unit’s strategic vision to be the premier training institution in the nation. This also required them to do a book study from a selected list provided by the Army War College to analyze leadership principles. Attended the SATTOC course at Ft Bragg North Carolina.

Supervision and Evaluation: Directly supervised educational instructors in both military and public school environments. Served as Commandant for the Wisconsin Army National Guard’s 426th Regional Training Institute (RTI) from September 2010 through September 2013. Served as Line Manager for AMERICAN SYSTEMS in-country office. Directly hired and evaluated instructors as project manager in Lebanon.
