His journey began in 1985 when he enlisted as a Marine, marking the start of a significant military career that saw him rise from the ranks to a General Officer. Parallel to his military duties, he established a robust career in the civilian sectors of technology and healthcare, managing roles that ranged from project management to senior executive. After his military service, he continued to make substantial contributions as a Senior Government Consultant, utilizing his top-secret clearance to manage various projects across Africa. In the private sector, he co-founded SmartTalk Inc., a healthcare communications company that notably achieved a 90% profit margin under his leadership. His strategic initiatives significantly reduced costs and errors for healthcare providers throughout the US, enhancing both ambulatory and hospital-based care systems.

During his four-year tenure, he successfully launched a new electronic medical record product across the western United States, breaking into a market where McKesson had previously seen low penetration. His academic achievements are substantial. He holds a bachelor's degree in business from Chapman University and an MBA from the University of Phoenix. His education was further complemented by advanced studies at several prestigious institutions, including the Senior Service College at the Department of Defense, Stanford University, and the Harvard Kennedy School.
