Okay to contact this Supervisor: Yes
Primary focus of this position is Inspections, assistance, investigations, intelligence oversight, teaching and training, evaluating, assessing, teaching units and personnel; the eyes, ears, voice, conscience of the Commander. I work under direct guidance of the Commanding General and the Inspector General of the Marine Corps extending his look into all matters pertaining to safety, fraud, waste, abuse, and mismanagement; the fair impartial fact-finder and problem solver. When I arrived the program was extremely myopic, my first change was to evaluate our processesstrategically and create a vision or way ahead. I developed both a creative and flexible method of preforming inspections and investigations. I utilized a very unique tracking system called the Summary Inspection Report which allowed me to track all Functional Areas both before and after the inspection. Once in-place, it allowed all inspectors and the inspected to reference the evaluation and recommendations via computer. This same system allowed me to prepare annual and semiannual reports, track inspection process/progress, and keep the Commander appraised of the unit’s overall success or failure.Once the evaluations were complete, I utilized the Corrective Action Report to ensure the unit commander was aware of all actions being taken to fix discrepancies/findings. The same report was used to brief the senior commander of all units and their status. Finally, I would brief each commander of their at risk or critical areas using both USMC trend analysis and analysis I developed during my previous inspections of like units.Prior inspections were invasive and encompassed 14-21 days of operational impact, I reduced the impact to under 7 days and had commanders thanking me for the professional/positive influence. During the past three years I have inspected over 30 units lead by Colonel/General Officer Commanders. I have served as the unit liaison to the Department of Defense Inspector General and Inspector General of the Marine Corps on numerous occasions while they performed their investigations/inspections. I was inspected by the Inspector General of the Marine Corps and was given a Mission Capable rating and outstanding remarks. One of the largest portions of our functional area checklist is the safety/fraud departments. The safety inspection covers the entire spectrum ranging from aviation, ground, to individual safety. I have investigated over 80 cases covering the full spectrum within the Inspector General purview. I am the primary for all Congressional Inquiries (CONGRINTS), Commandant of the Marine Corps Special Interest (SPLINTS), the HOTLINE complaint program, Fraud, Waste, and Mismanagement/abuse program. I am the point of contact for the command when dealing with NCIS, CID, and run the appeals program for the Western Region. I am the commands focal point when dealing with all formal and informal complaints, mediation, request masts, Equal Opportunity resolution, and military liaison between the civilian HR and military workforce. My workforce is both military and civilian based. I evaluate both using the military Fitness Reporting System and the civilian Personnel Assessment and Evaluation System. I am qualified as a civilian pay certifier via the SLDCADA leave and pay system. I am the liaison to Naval Region South West (NRSW) for all real world disaster program implementation including the western region and national scale exercises. I am currently the Inspector General for the entire western region including 7 installations; Camp Pendleton, Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS) Miramar, MCAS Yuma, MCAS Camp Pendleton, Marine Corps Logistics Base Barstow, portions of 29 Palms and Marine Corps Mountain Warfare Training Center Bridgeport California. I have oversight of approximately 3000 personnel and millions of dollars of equipment.

The job required an extreme knowledge of both the Pacific and Central Commands, financial management skills, budgeting war asset movement of personnel and equipment, and technology management for large scale warfare as all plans were later briefed at the 4 star level.

I was the senior coordinating official for all personnel and equipment employed in the effort to contain the massive fire.

In January I became the Commanding Officer of a failing Marine Heavy Helicopter Squadron. One year after my assumption of command, the squadron was awarded both the Marine Heavy Helicopter Squadron of the year and Marine Aviation Safety award. At the same time the squadron was awarded these two prestigious awards, I deployed the squadron via a seven ship armada to Operation Iraqi Freedom. Through flexibility and resilience, my squadron became the first Marine Heavy Helicopter Squadron to deploy in total aboard naval shipping; deploying to Operation Iraqi Freedom. My squadron wrote the book on deploying aboard naval shipping which is still used today. During our deployment to Operation Iraqi Freedom I was selected to lead the opening day mission of the war and received the “Distinguished Flying Cross” for actions that day. Our Squadron held the highest readiness rates of any Heavy Helicopter squadron during a war time environment. We never missed a single mission in support of ground forces carrying more equipment, supplies, and personnel than any helicopter squadron during Operation Iraqi Freedom 1.

I was selected for the position of Executive Officer ahead of eight available more senior Lieutenant Colonels.

Supervisor: Colonel Peatross
Okay to contact this Supervisor: Yes
I was selected as a very young Lieutenant Colonel to lead the operations section of the largest Marine Aircraft Group in the United States Marine Corps. Because of my extensive flying experience and flight qualifications, I was hand selected to improve the support being provided to the ground forces. I developed a program/matrix which allowed my staff to organize the deployment cycle of all eight helicopter squadrons. It simplified deployments overseas, military shipping requirements, cargo displacement in and out of strategic regions, prioritized local squadron deployments, etc… I use milestones to ensure all aviation and ground support was identified and matched to individual unit training/local deployments. Marine Aircraft Group 16’s combat readiness was the highest it had ever been in over 10 years. We never missed a single infantry support mission the entire year culminating with a large scale helicopter mission. The tour ended with my selection to represent marine aviation during a large scale rewrite of all helicopter training syllabuses. I was directly responsible for eight helicopter squadrons (over 110 aircraft) and one major supply squadron approximately 2700 personnel and billions of dollars of vehicles, equipment, aircraft, and parts and supplies.
