“Whether you think you can, or think you can’t – you’re right.”
– Henry Ford
My diverse background has shaped me into the dynamic and effective leader I am today. My journey began in the US Marine Corps, where I learned the values of discipline, teamwork, and leadership that have stayed with me throughout my career.

“Good judgment comes from experience,
and often experience comes from bad judgment.”
– Rita Mae Brown
Through life, our experiences—whether positive or negative, beneficial or seemingly inconsequential—become etched into our memories. Over time and with reflection, these experiences transform into valuable lessons that shape our decision-making and approach to future circumstances.
The military’s practice of conducting an After Action Review (AAR) embodies this principle, offering a structured approach to dissect and learn from each experience. By asking crucial questions such as ‘What was the purpose or objective of our exercise?’, ‘Did we accomplish our objectives?’, ‘If not, what happened, and how can we change our actions to succeed if presented with this again?’, ‘What went right?’, and ‘Are there any potential areas of improvement?’, one can extract valuable insights and refine strategies for future endeavors.
Throughout my career, I’ve embraced the AAR methodology, applying it not only to each project but also to individual steps within those projects. This thorough analysis has been instrumental in fostering continuous improvement and growth in both personal and professional capacities. By consistently evaluating objectives, successes, and potential areas for refinement, I’ve honed my ability to navigate the ever-changing landscape of challenges and opportunities. With this mindset, I approach each new situation, armed with the wisdom gleaned from past experiences, always striving to refine my judgment and chart a more enlightened course.
