I've spent more than 15 years as a Surface Warfare Officer, leading sailors, having commanded a ship, and working with some of the most incredible people. I was fortunate to command USS Hurricane (PC 3) from June 2020-July 2021 and led the ship through Covid, the combat certification process, as well as multiple patrols in the Middle East. I've also done a total of 5 deployments in my career and have unique stories from each. The experience afforded to me by the Navy have been incredible and I love sharing them with non-military audiences.
