United States Navy Veteran
Graduate of the Naval Legal Justice School. Served honorably in the U.S. Navy from 1992 to 1998, supporting the Sixth Fleet JAG team aboard the USS America (CV 66).
Time at sea, plus work around Operation Iraqi Freedom, left a lasting mark: stay composed, do the right thing, and execute like the mission matters (because it does).
The military taught me calm under pressure, sharp judgment, and how to lead with steadiness when it counts.
I loved my serving my country and have since made my mission to be a life of service.
