Objective I wish to secure gainful, long-term employment that would permit me to leverage a highly successful
and challenging 20 year career with the military and national intelligence communities in a commercial or
government workforce. My extensive experience in the multi-faceted fields of intelligence analysis and
comprehensive, fused intelligence reporting have rigorously prepared me for a career within any
enterprise in which detail-orientated research or research and analysis is a requisite for success.
In addition to my extensive intelligence analysis and reporting experience I am also a very strong
communicator who has conducted thousands of detailed intelligence briefings. I have presented the most
complex of briefings to audiences ranging from single individuals to audiences of hundreds, from a few minutes
to several hours. I also have experience and am very adept at creating detailed teaching syllabuses and
conducting classes, providing instruction to various class sizes. I am, and have always been, very comfortable
speaking before any size audience or class and adore the challenges accompanying public speaking.
I am very experienced with all standard office software applications and, I believe, would be able to
understand the goals and functions of any office or enterprise and quickly become a valuable and highly
productive member of any team.
