I spent years flying AH-64D “Apache” helicopters in Iraq and Afghanistan, and serving as an operations and intelligence officer, turning what I saw from the cockpit into plans people could execute under pressure. Now I help companies take what’s in the founder’s head and build something the whole team can follow.
PACE is how the military plans for the moment things go wrong, and it’s built into everything I deliver. No single points of failure in your strategy, your execution, or your talent pipeline.
The plan you run when conditions hold.
A ready path when the primary stops working.
What you do when both of those are gone.
The last-resort option that keeps you moving.
If Primary fails, the next level is already in place. The plan keeps moving.
Strategy, AI, and talent. Each one stands on its own, and together they cover the full distance from a plan to the people who carry it out.
Turn the strategy in your head into a phased plan your whole team can run, with contingencies built in from day one.
Find where AI actually fits your business, and where it doesn’t, with a clear roadmap built on judgment instead of hype.
Two federal routes fund veteran hiring — SEI pays your company directly; the GI Bill funds a progressive training wage — with the program set up, kept compliant, and sourced for you.
The methods come from doctrine I used in Iraq and Afghanistan, adapted for the boardroom. Two distinct systems, kept distinct.
Any leader in your organization can make the right call when the plan breaks and you’re not in the room. That’s the deliverable.
The planning discipline large consultancies reserve for the Fortune 500, applied at the scale where it actually changes the outcome.
No pitch deck. Tell me what you’re working on and I’ll tell you straight whether I can help.
