Lean Construction Consultant

Oct 2020 - Present
In my current position, I consult to a global semiconductor manufacturer. My role is to plan and monitor the installation and demo of tools that are used to manufacture these products. Our goal is to reduce cycle time by 50% without adding overtime or more resources. I use Last Planner System (LPS) and TouchPlan (a construction collaboration software) to enable trade to trade collaboration, develop and document project milestones and timelines, schedule and mange project meetings, and track the construction process. Using these tools, and facilitating effective communication between all team members to focus on effective planning and proactive constraint management, we have improved the efficiency of workflow and successfully reduced overall construction durations by an average of 50%.

I served as an Independent Training Program Consultant for Cubic Corporation; one of the world’s leading providers of realistic and virtual combat training system solutions. In this role, I facilitated extremely specialized military training for active members of the US Special Operations Command to include the Army Special Forces and Navy SEALs. I successfully trained over 700+ students, achieved a highly-coveted 100% pass rate, and earned exceptional student ratings for all courses taught. I was additionally utilized in the planning, development, and implementation of course deliverables to meet all client-defined training project objectives while ensuring adherence to assigned annual budgets and contract-defined schedule constraints. Most notably, I was often recognized within the military and private-sector security community as a subject matter expert in my field and often looked to for advisement on program modifications.

Core to my entrepreneurial spirit, I co-founded the craft brew company, Birra Di Vino, in 2012.

2002 - 2010
From 2002 to 2010, I served as a Senior Medical Sergeant for the United States Army 10th Special Forces Group based in Stuttgart, Germany. Over the course of my service, I was able to gain a tremendous amount of expertise in project and program management as part of numerous high-profile, mission-critical assignments both here in the United States as well as abroad. Over the 8 years that I served, I successfully held several leadership positions; contributing as a Specialized Program Manager, Collections Manager, and Special Operations Advisor. Each of these roles required increasingly responsible accountability in the management of substantial program deliverables and budgets, as well as staff supervision, and multi-stakeholder coordination to meet or exceed all mission objectives. I was honorably discharged from active duty in April of 2010. Show less
