I bring the experience of three distinct careers with me. The first is Military (USAF 10 years) then Foreign Military Sales (RSAF/RSNF 7 years) ending when I relocated my household Thailand to America to pursue graduate education. Following Thunderbird I worked in the Corporate World (Motorola, Oracle and Ernst & Young 8 Years). I was lured into Start-Ups by becoming the COO of a deep analytics firm. That led to a trail of start-ups, turnarounds, salvage or 'go to market' lower Middle Market companies on behalf of Venture, Private Equity, Hedge, Family Office and HNWI investors. Market Segments include hospitality, technology, professional services, military, aerospace and defense, process manufacturing, discrete manufacturing and financial services.
