Education & Experience

  • Bachelor of Science in Healthcare Management (Southern Illinois University, 1999)

  • Master of Business Administration (Naval Postgraduate School, 2006)

  • 36 years of healthcare experience and leadership in the United States Navy as a Hospital Corpsman/Dental Technician and Healthcare Administrator in the Medical Service Corps, having served overseas during peacetime in Europe and Asia, conflict with the Marines in Iraq, clinics, hospitals, and battalions stateside.

I enlisted in the Navy in 1987 and attended boot camp and “A” school training to become a Hospital Corpsman/Dental Technician in San Diego, California. I advanced to a Petty Officer First Class (E6) in the enlisted ranks and served at various clinics and hospitals both stateside and overseas as a Leading Petty Officer (LPO) until my commission in 1999 into the Medical Service Corps as a Naval Officer.

I was a Healthcare Administrator which can mean many things in the Navy, but specifically I wore many hats in leadership positions as a Department Head, Director for Administration, and Officer in Charge, leading thousands of Marines and Sailors through the years.  While deployed to Iraq, I specifically served as the Medical Planner, Navy Administration Supervisor, and MEDEVAC Coordinator during Operation Iraqi Freedom with the Third Marine Aircraft Wing, overseeing 700 medical evacuation missions.  I also earned a Warfare Device as a Fleet Marine Force Qualification Officer and a Meritorious Service Medal for my actions with the Marines. 

I retired as a Commander in the United States Navy in 2023 from my last tour at Camp Pendleton, California, while serving with the 1st Marine Logistics Group at the Dental and Medical Battalions.

Mission

Our mission is to empower veterans to thrive in their civilian lives by providing personalized career guidance, leadership development, mentorship, and life coaching. We are committed to supporting mental wellness, fostering confidence, and unlocking each veteran’s unique potential. Through connection, growth, and purpose-driven support, we help veterans build pathways to meaningful opportunities, stability, and long-term success.

Vision

We envision a future where every veteran transitions into civilian life with strength, clarity, and purpose. A future where mental wellness is prioritized, leadership skills are recognized and elevated, and every veteran has access to the tools, community, and guidance they need to flourish.

We strive to create an environment where veterans feel valued, supported, and inspired to pursue their ambitions—whether in careers, entrepreneurship, or personal growth. By championing resilience, confidence, and lifelong learning, we aim to build a network of empowered leaders who continue to contribute their skills and service to the world beyond the uniform.

On a personal note, I will always have a connection to Marines, Sailors, and Veterans, having served for as long as I did in the Navy.  Following my retirement, my mom had been diagnosed with Lewy Bodies Dementia, and I became her caregiver until her passing in May of 2025.  I still want to serve, and I feel the best way to do that as a veteran is to serve veterans and their families by using my experience and knowledge and passing it on to them.  I was also an Adjunct Instructor/Associate Professor for the University of Maryland’s Global Campus/Asia, teaching human resources and leadership while deployed to Diego Garcia as the Officer in Charge for the dental and medical clinics, and thought about teaching. However, I feel my place is with the Veterans and their families.
