After an extraordinary journey spanning decades, I have officially retired from government service. Starting with the intelligence community (IC), helping stand up United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM), and concluding as a plank holder of the United States Space Force (USSF), it has been an honor to serve at the three-star equivalency level and contribute to our nation’s security. From helping define the role of Special Operations in the War on Terror to shaping homeland defense and bringing irregular warfare to space, my career has been marked by pivotal roles and groundbreaking initiatives. Leading innovation and operationalizing AI, cyber operations, and space has been truly rewarding. But working alongside elite military units and collaborating with various departments, agencies, universities, and industry partners has been my most profound honor. It underscores the importance of our collective efforts toward national security and prosperity. I am deeply grateful for these experiences, colleagues, and mentors who have shaped my journey. While retiring from government service, I eagerly look forward to the next chapter where I can bring my expertise to new challenges and opportunities. Thank you all for your support and camaraderie.
