The role of great leaders is to constantly seek ways to develop vital human, resource, and intellectual capital. 30 years in the military, serving across various supervisory and command positions has offered multiple and unparalleled opportunities to successfully lead, coach, and mentor literally thousands of military and civilian personnel. And numerous global assignments, working with myriad leaders at the highest levels of United States and international government, has afforded me unique perspective and an ability to identify innovative and lasting solutions through skilled empathy, compromise and mutual respect.
