Background, Experience, and Education

Things that define who I am are - I'm from rural Iowa (grew up surrounded by corn fields), I attend a very small public school (49 students in my graduating class), and participated in sports, band, and choir while growing up with one younger brother (now an Emergency Room doctor in Idaho) in a single parent home.
I have over 20 years of leadership experience, courtesy of the United States Marine Corps, where I served as a navigator in the aviation community and as a Manpower planner. As a USMC planner, I was responsible for a reenlistment bonus budget of over $60 million dollars and was recognized by the Senate Armed Forces Committee for my efficient management of this budget. After retiring from the Marine Corps, I have 3 1/2 years experience as a Program Manager in customized case management software development (Information Technology field) as a contractor in Quantico, VA.
I graduated from Iowa State University, Ames, Iowa with a BBA in Finance and have a MS degree in Systems Management from the Naval Postgraduate School, Monterey, California. I earned my Project Management Professional (PMP) certification in 2008 that is current and in good standing today. All useful for being on the Board of Supervisors.
I'm happily married to Jennifer, previously Jennifer Milligan, who grew up from age twelve in Spotsylvania County in the Courtland District. Jennifer is a medical doctor and practices medicine in the Fredericksburg area. We have 6 children, ages 2 - 15. We attend New Life in Christ Church, behind the Spotsy Mall that is also in the Courtland District.
