Electrician

US Navy

As a Nuclear Electrician’s Mate in the U.S. Navy, I qualified through one of the most rigorous technical training pipelines in the military. I maintained, operated, and troubleshot electrical systems within a high-reliability naval nuclear propulsion environment, performing both preventive and corrective maintenance on power distribution equipment, control circuitry, and safety systems. The role demanded strict adherence to procedures, precise technical documentation, and consistent systems discipline. My time in the Navy built habits of accountability, attention to detail, and composure under pressure — habits that continue to shape how I approach engineering work today.

I’ve always been drawn to how things connect — systems, processes, people, and the ideas that keep them moving.

I began my career in the U.S. Navy as a Nuclear Electrician’s Mate, where I learned to work with high-reliability systems, uncompromising standards, and the kind of discipline that only comes from environments where mistakes aren’t optional. That foundation shaped how I approach technical work and responsibility today.

After the Navy (and a lot of subsequent schooling in physics and engineering), I continued building my career in complex transportation and engineering environments. I moved into hands-on electrical systems work in passenger rail operations and later took on roles in commissioning and systems integration.

Today, I work in multi-stakeholder project coordination and technical review for rail fleet programs while also co-owning School of Rock Salt Lake City, where I manage daily operations, program development, and community engagement. Operating a business alongside a technical career has sharpened my ability to understand people, prioritize decisions, and stay accountable for outcomes.

Earning my Professional Engineer (PE) license has deepened my sense of accountability, not just to technical standards, but also to the people and systems those standards serve.

My goal is to continue bridging the gap between engineering precision and people-centered management, and to grow into a leader who brings clarity, empathy, and structure to complex environments.

Learning to lead through systems and people.

Mindset & Communication Skills Coach for Foreign Entrepreneurs/Managers Who Want To Lead In English – Grow🌱 In Confidence In Your Business English, Be The Boss Of Your Brain & Stand Out Globally | Neurolanguage Coach®

Leadership is a language, a presence, an energy.
It comes from YOU. Business English is just YOUR tool. 


When you use a spade in your garden or a hammer to hit a nail, it’s the POWER and SKILL you place behind it that decides how well you perform the task.

And it’s the same when you want to communicate more confidently, clearly and compellingly in English.

Because effective English communication that inspires and connects is a tool.

A very valuable one of course. And it's what I do. 

But not just that.  



Because I know YOU don't want just the tool. 

What you REALLY want is the outcome of powerful English communication:

- It’s how your global teams and clients see you differently as a Leader. 

- It’s how you mobilize them to change in some way after being in contact with you. 

- It’s how they then connect more deeply and meaningfully inside and out. 

Creating new impact & results.

In THEIR World. In YOUR Company’s World. In THE World around them. 



So, let’s be clear. 

It’s not just about you. It never was.

It’s about something so much bigger. 

And that’s what I care about the most. I'm guessing you do too. 



So if you see yourself as one of those Leaders who wants the tool AND the outcome it brings you, DM me and let’s have a conversation.

PS: My clients know:

In order to cut through the noise, it’s not a question of just being able to say MORE, 
it’s a question of being able to communicate better with LESS. 

The kind of LESS that moves minds, hearts and hands. And makes people see, be and do differently..
