What did you do prior to your career with Horizon Strategies?

I recently retired from active duty after 33 years as a USMC officer during which I performed in various operational logistics and training/education capacities. I served as a unit logistics officer for logistics battalions, an infantry battalion, an infantry regiment, and U.S. Marine Forces, Strategic Command. Throughout my military career, I conducted logistics operations (Combat, Peace Keeping, Peace Enforcement, Humanitarian and Disaster Relief) in all possible environments (amphibious, Maritime Prepositioned Force, desert, jungle and cold weather) in the U.S., Europe, Middle East, Caribbean and Pacific regions. I commanded USMC Combat Logistics Battalion-4 in combat (Iraq). While commanding Combat Logistics Regiment-3, I had the opportunity to conduct disaster relief operations in support of the government of the Philippines. I served as the Chief of Staff for all operational USMC logistics in the Pacific and subsequently led the Logistics Vision, Strategy and Innovation branch at HQMC. My training experience started as a Series Officer, Executive Officer and Company Commander at Parris Island. I then served as a faculty advisor at the Expeditionary School and later was the Division Chief, Joint Training and Exercises for U.S. European Command. My final active duty education experience was as the Godfrey Chair at Marine Corps University. Upon retirement from the military, I began working as a logistics strategist and expert consultant on a number of government contracts.
