What I'm looking for

I seek senior leadership roles where I can scale multi-site security operations, improve client outcomes, drive operational efficiencies, and mentor cross-regional teams.

I am a CPP-certified corporate security leader, Lean Six Sigma Black Belt, and U.S. Navy veteran with 15+ years directing complex security programs across government, critical infrastructure, and private enterprise.

I have led national account transitions and regional builds, scaling operations to 95,000+ HPW and managing portfolios exceeding $100M, while deploying KPI scorecards, Salesforce dashboards, and GSOC optimizations.

My leadership delivered measurable outcomes: a 65,000+ HPW expansion for a major automotive account, consistent audit readiness above 95%, zero DHS audit deficiencies at a TSA-regulated site, and improved retention through recognition and structured onboarding.

I prioritize strategic clarity, operational discipline, and client-centric solutions grounded in Extreme Ownership, 4DX, and The 10X Rule, and I seek roles where I can scale teams, improve service delivery, and align operations with client and P&L goals.
