Career Narrative

I started as a computer science engineering student at the University of Toledo and commissioned into the U.S. Army National Guard through ROTC, where I led a 30-Soldier platoon and learned that programs live or die on cadre, accountability, and honest risk assessment. That lens carried into telecom engineering with Actalent — leading SCADA network enhancement and fiber connectivity design for American Electric Power across a 500-mile service area, improving reliability by 30% and reducing downtime by 15% through field-verified planning.

At Boeing in Everett, WA, I led the initial phase of the Quality Stand Down as a project manager — defining scope, milestones, and cross-functional alignment across nine engineering functions — while directing avionics and software testing in the B-787 lab. That effort reduced defects by 15% in the initial phase and improved system reliability by 20%, and included merging the 737 and 787 ETAC/ACE management processes to tighten production tracking and inter-team accountability.

At Amazon in Renton, WA, I lead operational transformation as an Inventory Project Manager — clearing a 105K-unit asset disposition backlog for roughly $242K in annual savings, redesigning warehouse workflows around real system dependency bottlenecks, and building automated executive dashboards that cut manual reporting effort by more than 80% and reclaimed leadership hours for the people who could actually move the backlog.

In parallel, I've served continuously with the National Guard — currently as Brigade Staff Chemical Officer at Camp Murray, WA, running CBRN defense and readiness for a brigade-level element with $10M+ in high-value asset accountability and 100% operational readiness, coordinating with joint and interagency stakeholders on emergency preparedness and response.

I hold an MBA from Franklin University (GPA 4.0), a B.S. in Computer Science Engineering from the University of Toledo, PMP certification, safety certification, and an active security clearance.
