I built my career on the front lines of public safety as a firefighter and a nationally registered paramedic. On and off the job, I served in crisis response, political action, and labor leadership, learning how to lead decisively when the pressure is highest. A line-of-duty injury in 2020 ended my time in public service, but not my drive.

I went on to co-found Reactor Graphs and the Cartographers Group, building a national force in public safety strategy, campaigns, and lobbying, delivering results that strengthen the lives of public servants and the communities they protect. Most recently, I served as the Chief Commercial Officer for Wrap Technologies Inc, a publicly traded company with technology products in public safety, defense, and the rapidly expanding counter-UAS market. I've led marketing teams, product launches, internal and external partnerships, and executive leadership, as well as product R&D, trademark and patent filings, and training across the United States and Canada.

I've spent my life making tough calls in environments where trust and clarity matter most. Today, I help mission-driven partners do the same, operating with purpose, precision, and resilience when the outcome truly counts. As an experienced fractional Chief Operating Officer, I am ready to help your executive team lead and deliver with operational support and design for scale and success.
