Profile

Owner-side delivery leadership from planning through turnover.

I help owners deliver complex data center and critical infrastructure programs from early planning through operational handover, with a focus on schedule certainty, utility constraints, project controls, vendor accountability, and clean turnover.

I combine private-sector hyperscale delivery at Meta and Switch with federal/military logistics, contracting, and infrastructure leadership across NAVFAC, the U.S. Navy, and global federal programs.
