About Me

I currently hold the position as Army Expeditionary Civilian Workforce Knowledge Manager. I have been a knowledge manager since 2008 when I started with the 115th Expeditionary Signal Battalion to a deployment in Afghanistan. I am married with 2 wonderful boys. Evan is our oldest and suffered a TBI last year during his tour in the Army. He was awarded the Army combat medic of the Quarter for FT Bliss Texas prior to his accident. Our Youngest, Ethan, is a Army Signal Intelligence Operator. I am very excited for both my boys. We currently have 4 dogs in the house, 1 of which is my service dog.

I currently hold a Masters in Certified Knowledge Management from KMInstitute.

My wonderful wife is currently managing 3 schedules and running the day to day operations of the hours. By no means does this mean she doesn't work. You try keeping up with 3 peoples Medical and various schedules. Without her I could not keep my head on straight. Hobbies include wood working and motorcycles.

With over 12 years of progressively responsible knowledge management experience in complex technical roles―both

military and civilian―requiring exceptional project coordination, problem solving, and management skills, I have

established a track record of success by leveraging a collaborative leadership style to accomplish all short- and long-

range objectives.

An engaging and articulate communicator, I am able to clearly convey complex technical information and propose

novel solutions to build consensus with key project stakeholders, including high-value clients and executive

leadership. Furthermore, my consistent focus on remaining at the forefront of rapidly evolving technology allows me to

drive enterprise-wide innovation and maintain a competitive advantage.

A small selection of my key projects and accomplishments include:

~ Saved $1.5M by changing software license process and reduced order development and dissemination time by 75%.

~ Created request for information process improving efficiencies and reducing team personnel count by three.
