Objective
I possess extensive public and private sector leadership and management experience. My training, education, and professional work experiences would make an immediate positive impact upon your organization. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Experience
I spent twelve years in Coast Guard operations in Marine Safety. During that time, I accumulated a great deal of training and operational experience in port safety/security, marine environmental protection, waterways management, port operations, marine casualty and personnel action investigation, and commercial vessel inspections. Furthermore, I am a certified Incident Command System (ICS) instructor and have a wealth of experience and training in ICS, and I spent six months with the Port of Houston Authority in an internship known as Port Safety Industry Training.

Skils
I possess an MBA and maintain a current government secret security clearance. Most recently, I served for three years as Comptroller (Chief Financial Officer) at a large Coast Guard Training Center, where I demonstrated outstanding financial management and budget acumen. I expertly managed and meticulously tracked over $40M in direct support of Coast Guard training mission execution. This enabled Training Center Petaluma, CA, to graduate over 15,000 students during that period of time. I aggressively monitored spending; my efforts produced exceptional results as the Training Center successfully balanced its books each fiscal year.
I will be retiring from the Coast Guard in June 2011. Due to accumulated vacation time, I will actually be entering the workforce around March 2011.
