I am an Army officer with over twenty years of leadership experience in the military and corporate world. I earned a doctorate in Strategic Leadership and think and write best after an aggressive whiteboard session. My passions are endurance racing and hanging out with my family. I have a beautiful wife and four kids, and you can find me coaching youth sports on weekends or helping mentor church youth.

Director of Social Media
I am working towards a degree in physical therapy, but my first love is volleyball. My dog Obi and I spend most days outside walking around the neighborhood and chasing squirrels. An avid snowboarder and water skier, you can find me on the slopes in the winter and behind a boat in the summer when I’m not on the court.
