Senior Technical Officer · Retired U.S. Army Warrant Officer

Technical depth.
Strategic perspective.

I lead complex logistics, sustainment, and modernization efforts where multinational requirements, technical systems, and acquisition strategy meet.

leadership & sustainment

My career has been built around a straightforward principle: complex systems perform best when the people, processes, and resources supporting them are equally well engineered.

Today, I serve with the NATO Support and Procurement Agency, developing and executing logistics support concepts for multinational customers and guiding modernization work through acquisition, configuration management, and disciplined program execution.

I bring the perspective of a retired Army Chief Warrant Officer, a technical specialist, and a logistics leader who has worked across government, industry, and international organizations.
