Claim your profileGood day! I am a veteran of the U.S. Navy and defense media professional of 25 years plus with a penchant for details and deadlines. With quite the varied experience in defense and civil government contracts, I have developed a sense for what drives interest in a storyline without losing touch with what sustains the health of one's bottom line. If you've played your cards just right, the two will intersect at just the right place in time. Over a quarter century of cognitive conditioning, a process started by the coupling a higher education and military discipline, the person I've been shaped to be is one who I feel values an openness of character and objectivity of spirit over an accumulative, data-driven preciseness of personality which often lacks flexibility in the face of needed change. From beat reporter to managing editor and everything in between, I am most proud of the woman I married and the cats we call kids than any material gain resulting from a life's work. And as I believe in the old adage "brevity is the soul of wit," I'll finish by saying it's not the sum of what you know but the sum of how you learned what you know since life's experience is more engrained the more purposefully it's encountered.
