PROGRAM MANAGEMENT
Effective managers empower their team to be the best of themselves and succeed. Teams that jointly develop the plan ensure success, even with a bad plan. Buy-in from the team is critical. When leaders put people first, the program's chance of success skyrockets.

To lead you have to care. My passion for you, your life, and your success is at the heart of my drive to lead, mentor, coach, and advise. I have done this for 30 years. Challenges, problems and setbacks? I say good. They are all opportunities. I will inspire you to succeed.
SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT
Manage it. Code it. Deliver it. Monitor it. I will help you or your organization bridge the technical gap from your vision to the click.

Focus + Discipline + Action + Leadership
As a U.S. Army officer, Airborne Ranger, and leader, you endeavor to uphold the prestige, honor, and high esprit de corps of your unit. You are always setting the example.
Leaders eat last. Give your team the credit. Make your boss look good. Solve a problem. Never split the difference. Discipline equals freedom. These phrases from business or self help books are not just words. They are real.
Dreams, ideas, goals, visions... are positive steps. But without disciplined action they are hallucinations.
Defeat your enemies whomever, whatever they may be. You do not quit, there is no surrender.
You have the intestinal fortitude required to fight on to the objective and complete the mission though you be the lone survivor. Let me show you the way.
Hunt to eat. RLTW!
