As the Vice President of Security at Sierra Space, I oversaw the protection of the company\'s assets, personnel, and reputation in the fast-growing and innovative space industry. I have more than 30 years of experience in law enforcement, homeland security, and national security, with a proven track record of developing and leading highly effective teams to address significant challenges and risks.I retired from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) in 2022 as a Senior Executive Service (SES) member and a Special Agent in Charge of a major field office. During my tenure at the FBI, I managed complex and high-profile investigations, operations, and programs in areas such as counterterrorism, cybercrime, organized crime, public corruption, and civil rights. I also hold a Master of Arts degree in Homeland Security Studies from the Naval Postgraduate School and a Bachelor\'s degree in Police Administration from Eastern Kentucky University. I am a US Army veteran and a recipient of multiple awards and honors for my service and leadership.
