Managing the movement of 300,000 daily passengers taught me this: Complex systems require simple solutions.

For 19 years at LIRR, I've orchestrated equipment strategies, crisis responses, and service expansions that keep New York moving. Now I'm applying those lessons to FIFA 2026's logistics challenges.

MY TRACK RECORD:
- $500K+ annual savings through strategic optimization
- 95% service reliability during Hurricane Sandy
- Led LIRR's most significant service expansion in 100+ years
- PMP, Lean Six Sigma Black Belt, PMI-RMP certified

CURRENT FOCUS:
Analyzing how 80,000 fans will navigate World Cup venues. Creating educational content on stadium logistics, fan mobility, and innovative travel strategies. Building bridges between transit expertise and sporting excellence.

PASSION PROJECTS:
Exploring innovative models for youth sports accessibility. Developing content that democratizes elite knowledge. Building communities around shared values of excellence and opportunity.

Let's connect if you're working on:
- Mega-event logistics
- Transit innovation
- Fan experience design
- Youth development through sports

Based in NYC. Thinking globally.
