President, Sweetwater Solutions LLC

Twenty years in Special Operations built a discipline that doesn't retire. Sweetwater Solutions exists to pay that forward — advisory services, intelligent systems, and veteran advocacy for those who need it most.

Ranger. Green Beret. Advocate.

Field experience becomes a design principle.

Twenty years in Special Operations — starting in the 75th Ranger Regiment and serving as a Green Beret in 3rd Special Forces Group — built a specific way of thinking: clear objectives, minimal assumptions, contingency at every step, and accountability for every decision.

Twelve deployments across three continents — Iraq, Afghanistan, East and West Africa — shaped a perspective on risk, leadership, and results that no classroom replicates. That discipline doesn't stop at the gate.
