I lead multi-site physical security operations for critical infrastructure and healthcare facilities.

I've led 24/7 physical security and GSOC operations at NXP Semiconductors across two Austin campuses totaling 2.1 million square feet. I directed a 52-officer contract guard force, security systems, investigations, emergency response, vendor performance, and more than $3.5 million in OPEX/CAPEX.

I redesigned guard-force coverage at NXP, reducing annual cost by approximately $800K while maintaining campus coverage. I also supported DHS CFATS, ISO 27001, and customer audits, including a CFATS audit completed with no findings.

My work spans semiconductor manufacturing, pediatric healthcare, law enforcement, and military environments. At Children's Medical Center Dallas and Medical City facilities, I managed hospital security programs, officer teams, access control, CCTV, emergency readiness, training, and incident response.

I've built security programs, led investigations, strengthened SOPs, and delivered access-control, CCTV, intrusion, and visitor-management projects. Earlier in my career, I served as a police detective and United States Marine Corps sergeant, grounding my approach in readiness, accountability, and sound decision-making.
