I spent the last 13 years as an Information Operations and Special Programs Planner for multiple Special Operations Units. I was medically retired after completing 13 combat deployments. During my career, I managed teams of up to 50 people and contracts of up to $2 billion.

I also worked as a Department of Defense civilian for 3 years while earning my degree. In this role, I specialized in Countering Improvised Explosive Devices and Drones. My final job before retiring was instructing students on how to fly commercial drones.
