I'm a problem solver who loves technology and never stopped being a student of it. Give me a manual process that's slowing people down, and I'll probably try to build something that fixes it — an app, a script, an automated workflow, whatever gets Airmen back to doing the work that actually matters.
The Journey
Enlisted — Ground Radio Systems
Joined the 131st Rescue Squadron, California ANG, keeping tactical radio comms mission-ready for Air Force pararescue.
Avionics & Maintenance Analysis
Maintained HH-60G and MC-130P avionic systems with the 129th Maintenance Group, then moved into maintenance data analysis. Deployed twice in support of Operation Enduring Freedom, including tours in Southeast Asia and Djibouti.
Protocol
Served as NCOIC of Protocol for First Air Force / NORAD at Tyndall AFB, then as Protocol NCO at the National Guard Bureau, supporting senior Air National Guard leadership.
Senior Enlisted Leader, Commander's Action Group
Supporting the Commander, CA ANG, both Assistant Adjutants General, and the Chief of Staff with daily operations at Joint Force Headquarters — alongside standing up the AIU as Deputy Director.
Education
Outside the uniform, I'm a dad, a husband, and a friend first. Technology's always been the thread running through everything I do — if it can be automated, simplified, or built into something people actually enjoy using, I'm probably already tinkering with it.
