From Special Forces operations to fintech platforms moving billions, I’ve led in environments where failure isn’t an option. I cut through complexity, stay calm under pressure, and guide teams that deliver—whether the battlefield is physical or digital.
I build teams that thrive on clarity, accountability, and trust. Blending Ranger discipline with deep empathy, I remove blockers and foster environments where engineers lead, grow, and deliver exceptional results.
Outside of work, I explore new ideas, places, and challenges—with my family, my Weimaraner, and a restless curiosity. These moments keep me grounded and focused on what matters most: people—the ones behind every transformative result.
At Dayforce Wallet in St. Petersburg, Florida, I partnered with product, design, and engineering leaders to align on growth strategy and delivery priorities—enabling same-day pay for over 830K users and driving scalable, human-centered fintech innovation.
During my graduate studies at Thomas University, a small school in southwest Georgia, I balanced leadership, work, and family responsibilities. Walking in convocation reminded me that growth isn’t always linear—steady learning amid real-life demands can still move you forward.
In 2001, I climbed Springer Mountain—the southern gateway of the Appalachian Trail—for a quiet reset. That trailhead marked a turning point, grounding me in motion, reflection, and the discipline to rebuild when life had lost direction.
Graduating with Ranger Class 6-95 at Fort Benning, Georgia, shaped how I lead—calm in pressure, clear in chaos, and committed to standards that hold even when tested. That training still echoes through how I coach teams and deliver under stress.
At Aldershot Garrison—home of the British Army’s airborne forces—I earned foreign jump wings alongside officers from 10th SFG(A). As the junior sergeant in the group, I learned that trust and humility can bridge any gap in rank, culture, or title.
At Camp Darby, a U.S. Army post tucked between Pisa and Livorno in coastal Italy, I operated encrypted HF burst comms in an AN/TSC-99 shelter. Those long hours taught me that precision and accountability matter—whether you’re securing battlefield traffic or scaling cloud platforms.
