Here’s what I’m working on now:

My Background

I’m a Systems Analyst with over 30 years experience working some of the world’s most complex problems within some of the world’s most complex systems.

My family is Cajun but I’ve spent most of my life as a nomad. I’ve lived in ten states and five countries. I’ve visited many more.

I graduated from the United States Naval Academy in 1992 with a degree in Systems Engineering. I’m an engineer by training and an analyst by practice.

For ten years I alternated between Salvage Diving and Explosive Ordnance Disposal. I dove SCUBA, re-breathers and surface-supplied diving systems. I jumped out of airplanes and blew stuff up. I travelled through Europe and the Middle East before focusing on the Pacific and Asia. The first half of my career was all about small teams using physics to solve complex problems.

The second half of my time in the Navy was spent helping smart people make tough decisions. I enjoyed the challenges and the chance to support complex decision making at the highest levels of our government.

The military was an amazing opportunity and I was fortunate to have had the chance to serve.  I worked alongside amazing people.  I learned about how the world works. I learned people working well together can do amazing things.

In my current job I’m integrating new technology into complex systems. I’m married to a wonderful woman and have two incredible kids. The kids are teaching me a lot more than I’m teaching them.
