• His favorite subject, or technology, he works with:
  • Working at the intersection of multiple problems.
  • to understand the people, funding, authorities, technology, and operational/business need.
• What helped him get to where he is today:
  • Leadership, management, critical thinking, ability to get stuff done helped with my first post-retirement job as a cybersecurity project manager.
• Advice for Military transitioning out:
  • Read your resume as an employer would and pretend you’ve never been in the military.
  • Use that GI bill, go to college, get some certifications.
  • Use LinkedIn, take a course on it, build a good profile, make connections.
  • When transitioning, you really should really do some soul searching about what is important to you.
    • Money, authority, location, lifestyle, etc.
  • Outside of the DoD, the rank you held is fairly meaningless. If you tie your rank to your identity, be prepared to let that go. Nobody cares.
