NICE TO MEET YOU
Welcome to my professional portfolio. Here you can find a multitude of things about my life, my passions, my services, and my theoretical research. First, let me tell you a little about me.
My professional experience spans 19 years as an Air Force Special Warfare Airman in the United States Air Force. I am currently the Chief of Operations for Guardian Angel and Special Tactics at the National Guard Bureau, Andrews AFB, MD. Before that, I was the regional director of instructors for the East Coast, out of Peoria, IL. I bring over 17 years of hands-on experience as an instructor, developing courses and entire curriculums. I have taught hundreds of Special Warfare instructors instructional design, change management, program evaluation, and curriculum development. Through those years of experience, I have developed an extensive toolkit for ensuring knowledge transfer for diverse student populations.
I have my Master of Science Degree from Boise State's School of Engineering, where I completed their Organizational Performance and Workplace Learning (OPWL) Program. I also have a graduate certificate in Workplace Instructional Design. With my academic credentials and professional experience, I strive to continue expanding my knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSAs) in adult learning theories and performance improvement.
What I bring to your organization is the ability to truly understand performance improvement from within while taking a systemic view of an organization from the outside looking in. Feel free to explore this portfolio, and let's connect to see how I can help you and your organization.
