Experience: Oct 2020 – May 2026 Koniag Government Services. I led a team over-seeing.renovation/conversion of two floors of a commercial building from warehouse spaces to government office spaces and a SCIF over a two-year period. Then I continued managing the facility while coordinating renovation office spaces in two other government-owned buildings and the Pentagon. All of this required establishing and monitoring security protocols for the locations and coordination of construction tasks with the Washington Headquarters Services contractors and various accrediting agencies. As facility manager I managed the parking program for assigned personnel at the Pentagon, Mark Center, and the renovated building. I was the POC for facility occupants for all problems concerning office assignments, furniture, and environmental concerns. Building maintenance/repairs were also funneled through me. I coordinated and obtained building access for visitors and meeting attendees to our four sites on an as-needed basis. .

I provided security oversight and training to a 35-person office performing Development/Acquisition of highly classified equipment/systems for the U. S. Navy. I improved the security posture, procedures and documentation (SOPs, SPPs, AISSP) of the office to the extent it achieved a SATISFACTORY security review in 2008, a SUPERIOR rating in 2009, and COMMENDABLE and SATISFACTORY ratings since then. Prior to 2008 the office had not passed a security review for 8 years.

I worked with the subject matter experts to help revise the Critical Program Information as the basis for re-writing and editing the revised Program Protection Plan and OPSEC plan. This led to re-writing the Security Classification Guides for three programs and 18 sub-compartments, making them much more specific. Subsequent efforts were made to de-conflict the security classification guides with related Special Access Programs and with programs in other services.

I revised and edited Security Test Plans and Transportation Plans to protect equipment and test data.

Wrote and edited DD254s for contractors working on the program outlining what organization would provide security oversight for the contract and what security regulations and requirements would be imposed (JAFAN, etc.).
