Before working for the Space Force, he directed the Air Force Talent Management Innovation Cell, where he focused on modernizing talent management practices within the Air Force. Before that, he served as the 10th Air Base Wing and installation commander at the U.S. Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs and served as the Chief Human Capital Officer at the United States Transportation Command. Prior to those assignments, he was city manager and 375th Mission Support Group Commander at Scott Air Force Base, IL.

Sijan Leadership Award (highest individual leadership award in the Air Force), the Air Force Distinguished Service Medal (2023), the Defense Superior Service Medal (2017) and three awards of the Legion of Merit (2016, 2019, and 2022).
