Transitioning from the Military Coaches, Events, and Resources

I have an MBA and a Master of Engineering Management, which allow me to work at the intersection of strategy, operations, finance, and technical delivery. I also hold technical certifications aligned with execution and governance (PMP, CSM, ITIL v4, COP, CPCM, CFCM). Hard technical skills include SysML and MBSE (ystem modeling and requirements traceability) Python and R (data analysis and modeling), and quantitative methods for cost, risk, and performance assessment.

As a former U.S. Army Captain and West Point graduate, I understand the unique challenges and opportunities that come with transitioning from the military to civilian careers. My journey took me from leading in the Army to earning an MBA from Harvard Business School and working as a Consultant at Bain & Company. I now work in Defense Tech. I've helped numerous veterans leverage their military experience to secure roles at top-tier companies. Whether you're aiming for a career in Consulting, Defense Tech, or any other field, I'm here to guide you through every step of the process.

I was an officer in the US Air Force who was trying to figure out what I was going to do as a next career. I was able to break into consulting for a high-growth career that built skills and experience that I wouldn't have gotten anywhere else. I'm excited about helping transitioning veterans figure out what their experience and leadership in uniform means to the civilian and corporate world to make the most of their newfound freedom.

I bring 25 years of experience as a U.S. Naval Surface Warfare Officer to my work with transitioning service members, having navigated multiple high-stakes leadership roles and now completing my own transition to the civilian sector. I understand the operational mindset, the identity shift, and the uncertainty that often come with moving beyond military service. My coaching helps leaders translate their experience into a clear civilian direction, reconnect with their values, and make confident decisions about their next mission—whether in corporate leadership, entrepreneurship, or a new professional path. As an iPEC Certified Professional Coach and Energy Leadership Index Master Practitioner, I combine real-world military leadership experience with a proven coaching framework focused on mindset, clarity, and sustainable performance. I help clients manage the mental and emotional side of transition—navigating ambiguity, overcoming limiting beliefs, building confidence, and creating a purposeful vision for life after service. The goal is not just a successful career move, but a confident, values-aligned transition that positions them to lead, perform, and thrive in their next chapter.

The transition is hard. I won’t sugarcoat it. You can look at my resume, but there’s nothing on it that will help you understand how tough this really is. What will help is learning from my own missteps, using them as a way to examine yourself deeply and find meaning in a life that’s very different from the one we came from.
