Twenty-plus years of military service, most of it in communications and public affairs, with stretches in technical program management and enterprise software along the way. I'm comfortable owning a program by myself or leading the team that runs it.

05 · About

From enlisted photographer to Public Affairs Officer.

“I've never taken a straight-line approach to my career, and I believe that's one of my greatest strengths.”Daniel Condit

I started as an enlisted photographer and worked my way up to Public Affairs Officer, so I've been part of the creative process and I've directed the teams responsible for the creative product. Along the way I built up media relations, executive communication, communications strategy, content calendars, editorial screening and release authority, and digital asset management.

Beyond public affairs, I processed U-2 reconnaissance film, worked as a geospatial analyst, built and automated data systems at Acxiom, and ran cross-functional projects as a technical program manager at Kinesso. I also earned a Master's in Space Studies with a focus in astronomy.

Whether I'm giving strategic direction to a commander during a crisis, running a technical program, or managing a full production life cycle, I take the same approach. Identify the requirements, plan accordingly, and execute it right the first time.
