I am a veteran of the United States Marine Corps and a retired Federal Intelligence Community Executive.  While serving within the Intel community I was fortunate to have served 22 of a 30 year career living overseas.  Although my background and early education was in computer science and computing, a majority of my pre-Excel Technologies career was focused on change management, IT Operations, Continuity of Operations, Emergency Operations and leading large diverse workforces. I attended the Northwestern Kellogg School of Management where I earned an Executive Scholar certification and received additional professional certifications from MIT, Harvard Kennedy School (Crisis Management), and the Aspen Institute.  My passions include playing with my Grandson, travel, golfing, watching/attending sporting events and volunteering at veteran and children charities (St. Jude, Camp Jamison, Honor Flights, Wounded Warriors etc.). I have been married for 33 years and have two amazing daughters and one equally amazing grandson.
