About
I am a Senior Business Advisor dedicated to supporting Veterans, active-duty Military members, and Military Spouses as they pursue their entrepreneurial goals. After retiring from the Army, I built a career that spans supply chain management, financial counseling, and logistics analysis—experiences that shaped my disciplined, analytical approach to business advising. I hold an MBA in Finance from American Military University, along with my credential as an Accredited Financial Counselor (AFC), which strengthens my ability to guide clients through complex financial and strategic decisions.
Before stepping into business advising, I spent years working in roles that required precision, planning, and a deep understanding of operational and financial systems. As a Supply Chain Manager, Financial Counselor, and Logistics Analyst, I learned how to break down complex problems into clear, actionable steps. That mindset carries directly into the work I do today.
My philosophy is simple: numbers do not lie. When I work with new clients, I focus on the financials first because the numbers always tell a story—one that words, assumptions, and excuses can’t hide. I believe that understanding the numbers gives entrepreneurs clarity, direction, and a realistic path forward. It’s the foundation for every solid business plan and every smart business decision.
Throughout my career, I’ve worked with individuals and businesses across all industries and from all backgrounds. What drives me in this field is the excitement of hearing new business ideas. I’m constantly inspired by the creativity and problem solving that entrepreneurs bring to the table. Every idea is a glimpse into how someone thinks—how they see a need, and how they believe they can solve it. Being part of that process is what motivates me every day.
In my role, I’m committed to helping the military community not only launch businesses but build them with confidence, accuracy, and a strong financial foundation. My goal is to ensure they have the tools and insight they need to succeed in whatever mission they take on next.
