My friends and loved ones regard me as an empathic leader who continually seeks growth and works to catalyze the same in others, the latter being my daily "Why."

My friends and loved ones regard me as an empathic leader who continually seeks growth and works to catalyze the same in others, the latter being my daily "Why." I cherish our individual journeys and hold the diversity that is represented in the spectrum of all things as sacred...a revelation that has come from letting go of so many of my own truths and being willing to explore that of others. I am most grateful for the breadth of experiences I have been fortunate to garner as they have provided the basis for my continued curiosity and humility with regard to my own importance and understanding. I have lived and traveled extensively throughout Europe and Asia, including multiple military tours and have traveled and lived to a similar extent in the United States. After more than ten years of service in the federal government, including becoming a member of the elite Army Rangers and two years supporting one of the most discrete, interagency programs in the Intelligence Community I entered into business for myself and started my higher education path. Now, almost eight years later, I have endeavored to launch several consumer products, earned a BBA in Strategic Design & Management from one of the world's most prestigious design schools, and helped other businesses launch and scale products and services of their own. I recently entered a new phase of my career, and I am eager to pursue opportunities that enable me to participate as an earnest collaborator helping to address social problems of increasing magnitude. Each of the many opportunities to be a force for good needs leaders who can frame the challenges with a "How might we..." question enabling us to produce innovative outcomes through design. I aim to be one of those leaders.
