How I Might Be Able to Assist

I am a retired Naval Engineering Officer completing 22 years of honorable service and currently employed with Texas A & M University – Kingsville as Executive Director, Enterprise Risk Management and online Adjunct Professor with New England College of Business. My desire is to provide a safe learning environment allowing students to obtain their educational goals.

My background and experience encompasses a wide range of safety, operations, administrative, financial planning, and technical aspects as well as disaster preparedness and recovery. I would be a good resource should your questions or resources involve auditing, business, or ethics.
