Describe your professional background.
I started in the Army as a field artillery officer serving in multiple positions in field artillery battalions and brigades. Since 1999 I have served as an acquisition officer. Most of my acquisition assignments have been in contracting (411th Contracting Support Brigade, 408th CSB and the 413th CSB) but I have also had the opportunity to serve as a product manager, in an Army field support brigade and in a science and technology position. I enjoy being part of the Army Acquisition Corps and ensuring our Soldiers get the equipment and services they need to accomplish their mission.
