Built on 25 Years of Service...

For over two decades, I’ve tackled some of the most complex challenges in defense acquisition, logistics, and program management. I’ve led supply operations at DLA, overseen procurement at Fort Leavenworth, and operated across every level of the defense contracting lifecycle. As a warranted contracting officer and certified acquisition professional, I’ve managed billions in contracts and guided teams through high-stakes missions across the globe.

My Military Background... 

I began my career in the U.S. Army, leading soldiers as a Platoon Leader and Company Commander. As a branch qualified Captain, I transitioned into the Army Acquisition Corps with leadership roles as Chief of Contingency Contracting, Director of Contracting at Ft Leavenworth, Bradley Fighting Vehicle – Program Integration Officer with DCMA and Deputy Director of Clothing and Textiles with DLA Troop Support. 

My Transition to the Private Sector

Even with decades of experience in acquisition and program management, I saw how hard it was to gain traction from the outside.

Ater retiring from active duty, I entered the Defense contracting world—supporting firms working to grow in the DoD market. 

That experience showed me that success in this space takes more than networking events or inflated pipelines—it demands a focused roadmap, disciplined pursuit, and mission-aligned positioning. 

Patriot Growth Consulting was born...

What started as a career of service has evolved into a mission of impact. Today, I help innovative companies navigate the same systems I once operated from the inside—so they can bring real solutions to the people who need them most. It's not about guessing how DoD works—it's about knowing it from the inside and using that knowledge to open doors for those ready to step through.
