My story
Marine discipline. Technical fluency. Human judgment.
I began my professional journey in the United States Marine Corps, where accountability and performance under pressure were not optional. With a background in computer science and engineering, I later brought that mindset into recruiting.
Today, I partner with leaders to build teams in identity security, fraud prevention, cloud, engineering, and enterprise go-to-market functions. I believe the best recruiting is not about moving resumes — it's about understanding the mission, evaluating judgment, and earning trust.
I'm also interested in what technology can do for recruiting when automation supports human decision-making instead of replacing it.
