"My whole career, I've been handed operations that were losing — money, time, or ground — and told to fix them. That's the job. It's the only job I know how to do."
I'm a retired U.S. Army senior non-commissioned officer — I came up in U.S. Army special operations, where execution wasn't a slide in a deck, it was the standard you lived by. After the Army, I spent more than a decade leading high-threat protective security and training operations overseas, eventually directing programs and the financial planning, forecasting, and reporting behind them.
Since then, I've overseen federal contracts worth $1.3B from cradle to grave, led capture strategy for major federal pursuits, and most recently took full P&L ownership of a $10M business unit that had lost money for six consecutive years — and returned it to profitability within three quarters. And for the past nine years, I've owned a private accounting and tax practice serving exactly the kind of businesses Northvale was built for: owner-led companies where the numbers have to work because there's no corporate parent to absorb the misses.
That combination — operational command, financial discipline, and small-business reality — is what I bring to your company. When we work together, you get me: embedded in your business, accountable to your numbers, on a cadence your budget can carry. No jargon, no fifty-page decks, no junior staff learning on your dime.
