Professional Background
Before building pet businesses, I spent 16+ years in military intelligence, technical analysis, digital forensics, and operational leadership. That background shapes how I diagnose business problems, build systems, and execute under pressure.
Bachelor of Science in Cybersecurity
Emphasis: Mobile Security & 5G Technology
Career Timeline
Designed and secured a production cloud platform supporting a two-sided services marketplace with real-world identity, payments, and operational workflows.
Conducted advanced technical exploitation of captured materials and served as primary liaison to the National Media Exploitation Center (NMEC).
Advanced video and audio forensic analysis supporting forward-deployed units and intelligence community partners.
Technical exploitation and analysis of improvised electronic devices to support threat assessment.
Large-scale digital media exploitation and forensic analysis extracting intelligence value from complex datasets.
Intelligence analysis supporting combat operations in Afghanistan, including multiple deployments to Helmand Province.
Transferable Strengths
Not just job duties—why this experience matters for pet business consulting.
Trained to see how parts connect. Whether analyzing threat networks or business operations, I look for leverage points and second-order effects.
High-consequence environments demand precision. That same rigor applies to building reliable business systems and processes.
From reconstructing circuits to debugging production systems, I solve problems by understanding how things actually work.
Extracting signal from noise, identifying patterns, and turning messy data into actionable insights—skills that translate directly to business diagnostics.
Led teams in combat zones and high-stakes intelligence operations. That experience shapes how I approach deadlines, constraints, and difficult decisions.
The best tools come from lived experience. I build systems that solve problems I've actually faced, not theoretical ones.
