Profile Summary
Seasoned Navy veteran, ex-Amazonian, and ex-Googler with 30+ years of battle-tested experience in cybersecurity, cloud architecture, and technical program management. From leading submarine crews through underwater fires to steering global cloud initiatives at top tech companies, I thrive in high-stakes environments and don’t flinch at chaos (but still don’t deploy on Fridays—unless it’s war).

I’ve built secure cloud solutions, or identified how to make existing solutions more secure, led 96-person cross-functional teams, and managed $22M budgets without dropping a server. Skilled in designing global architectures, implementing agile at scale, and developing vendor-neutral implementation guides that actually work in the real world.

Highlights include scaling Khan Academy’s cloud infrastructure to millions of learners without outages, exceeding Amazon EC2 devops goals by 300%, building two classified cyber ranges as ISSE and ISSM, upgrading 12 satellite sites in Africa to save $4M/year, and climbing Kilimanjaro just to stay sharp. Whether it's founding a consulting firm or modernizing systems for national security, I bring calm to the storm—and results to the mission.
