𝐀𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐌𝐞
OIF/OEF Marine veteran. I am comfortable in large, matrixed organizations (cross-firm and cross-function) but have also had success in smaller, more agile organizations. My background is in strategy, supply chain, and analytics. The roles and functions don't matter so long as I am adequately challenged and believe in the vision.

𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐌𝐞
»    I speak up
»    I am driven to learn
»    I don't melt under pressure
»    I say what I mean and mean what I say
»    I am a people optimizer - ask for my references

𝐇𝐢𝐠𝐡 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐨𝐟 𝐟𝐢𝐭 𝐢𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐧𝐲:
»    expects their leaders to build leaders
»    believes silos disrupt the informational flow
»    identifies and empowers ‘potential’ in talent organization
»    recognizes organizational impulses toward silo behavior and course corrects
»    supports strong leadership with no or minimal strings attached when possible
»    embraces the long game, and displays strategic patience in the face of adversity
»    encourages employees to speak their minds so critical issues don’t remain hidden
»    displays structure and clarity as measured by the goals, roles, and execution plans
»    encourages the growth mindset and empowers the entire workforce to think and act big

𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐬𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐬, 𝐩𝐡𝐫𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐬, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐪𝐮𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐬 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐞:
dream big 
learn by doing 
process-minded
life must be lived forwards
character—word is everything 
well done is better than well said
listen—to what’s said and what’s not 
be technically and tactically proficient 
life is an experiment; test what is possible 
know yourself and seek self-improvement 
every problem contains seeds of its solution
great minds have purposes; little minds have wishes 
you are not better than anyone, and no one is better than you 
courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear -- not an absence of fear 
we cannot build our future without helping others build theirs
success is never-ending; failure is never final 
patience—excellence is never an accident
seek responsibility and take responsibility 
there is no progress without action 
make sound and timely decisions 
the biggest risk is doing nothing 
production before perfection 
commitment to the team 
live with purpose 
set the example 
be reflective
