My 25-year Naval career spans everything from the Cold War to deployment in Afghanistan supporting Operation Enduring Freedom and finally retiring as a Commander at U.S. Strategic Command (USSTRATCOM). This experience, along with defense industry experience, is leveraged to facilitate engagement between STRATCOM research, development, test, and evaluation (RDT&E) groups; our warfighters; and various National/DoD laboratories, University Accredited Research Centers (UARCs), academia, and industry. I focus on building relationships that foster the identification of technology subject matter expertise and crossflow of scientific and technical information. One of the things I enjoy most is supporting technology/innovation events and military exercises to gather information on emerging threats, technologies, and products that produce solutions which protect our warfighters and help them successfully complete their missions.
