President, Predictive Fleet Technologies: Develops advanced analytical software to simplify and enhance the information obtained by two piezoelectric pressure-pulse sensors. After several years in development and testing, the tools are now at a point where they are commercially viable and gaining traction in the area of fleet maintenance. Our efforts focus on two primary applications, one for storing engine signatures at a maintenance facility (enginepolygraph.com) and the other for Fleet Management (engineangel.com).

Vice President, Global Language Translations & Consulting:  Provides marketing, IT and project management support with a heavy focus on new application development. GLTaC is an innovator in the language translation industry in terms of automation use and operational efficiency. Our goal is to be the leading supplier of translation services to our targeted industries.

Education: Completed my MBA while working at the Directorate of Combat Developments in the Field Artillery at Fort Sill. Oklahoma City University was very supportive of the military, providing classes during the week at Fort Sill, with labs in Oklahoma City on the weekends.
