About
A visionary leader with a complete commitment to excellence. I have successfully led operations and development programs in both corporate technology, entrepreneurial, federal government, and military special operations organizations. I faithfully served in the U.S. Marine Corps' Special Operations Command, where I was selected to found and command the first Marine Special Operations Task Force. Collaboratively, I developed world-class aviation, ground, and intelligence integrated special operations training for rapid-response forces, resulting in bringing every Marine home from the battlefields alive. I was awarded 49 military medals and ribbons including the Bronze Star Medal for heroism during combat operations in Iraq. After 27 years in the Marine Corps I retired and transitioned into the corporate, media, and non-profit sectors as an organizational founder and owner. I thrive on creating organizations and developing leaders through phases of transformations they perceive to be impossible. I’ve founded Heroes United, a 100% to program charity, providing scholarships and life-changing morale events for surviving American military widows and their children. My entrepreneurial drive also led me to found, grow, and have acquired Arrowhead Capital, a financial services corporation. I authored A Few Bad Men, a best-selling/award-winning book on relentless leadership through crises. At Tesla, I founded and led the Distribution and Service leadership and technical training department for North America. Production and quality increased through the creation of global training standards and pathway certifications, resulting in a 530% production increase and a 320% quality boost. As an Intelligence Official with a U.S. Government Interagency Task Force I led the Southeast Asia regional training and infrastructure development program, ensuring the delivery of impactful infrastructure as well as technical and leadership training across the Southeast Asia region.
