Experience
US Army
A highlight of my Army career was my deployment with the 172nd Infantry Brigade to Paktika province Afghanistan in July of 2011. Just as we deployed to Afghanistan, much was changing. Osama Bin Laden had been killed two months prior and our leaders were starting to ask tough questions about the future of Afghanistan. One of the greatest honors of my life was serving with leaders who were not afraid to share the facts vs. self serving fantasies to superiors and policy makers. Ultimately, our work informed strategy and policy on how to best support the Afghan’s longer term.

McKinsey
The Firm has the most incredible people – the kind of people who relentlessly help others achieve excellence (clients in this context) – I had the honor and privilege of working with and learning from some of the best in the business.
