have had the honor of serving for three decades in leadership and operations roles to co-create workplace culture change, reimagine employee wellbeing, and catalyze individual and team flourishing. I have served in a diversity of management roles all around the country as a US Naval Flight Officer, US Forest Service leader, NOAA Operations Chief, and most recently as founder, teacher, and manager of Mindful FED. I also worked with the Center for Mindfulness in Public Safety to train safety and corrections officials in mindfulness-based wellness and resilience in the US and Canada. As an adjunct faculty member at the Federal Executive Institute, I trained senior federal executives in personal and organizational mindfulness practices to enhance leadership skills and workplace culture. I received my undergraduate degree from the US Naval Academy and Masters from the University of Hawaii. My partner, Julie, and I have three daughters.
