After honorably concluding my service in the Navy, I transitioned directly into a civilian career with Archaea Energy on April 21, 2009, starting as a plant operator at a landfill gas-to-energy facility. My military experience aligned well with this role, providing me with the technical knowledge and operational discipline needed to succeed. Over the years, I've progressed through a variety of leadership positions-from Regional Manager overseeing five facilities, to Maintenance Manager supporting over 20, and eventually to VP of Power Generation. I now serve as the VP of Renewable Natural Gas Facilities, helping to drive innovation and growth across the country.
The most rewarding part of my career has been the personal and professional development I've experienced along the way. Archaea Energy offers veterans a strong pathway for advancement, with roles that build on the skills many of us developed in service. My advice to transitioning service members is to know your worth, prepare for what's next, and take the time to fully understand your benefits and financial goals. To hiring managers, I'd say veterans are well equipped for more than what their resume says.

Before joining Archaea Energy, I spent a decade operating a Landfill Gas to Energy (LFGTE) plant with a company partnered with Archaea. This experience, combined with my time commissioning a new aircraft carrier in the Navy, gave me a solid foundation in leadership, operations, and technical performance. I officially joined Archaea Energy on April 4, 2024, and quickly led a team to restore a 10-year-old LFGTE plant to its original design power output-an achievement that reflects both strategic leadership and hands-on problem-solving.
What's been most rewarding in my career so far is the opportunity to commission two major energy platforms-one in the Navy and one in the renewable energy sector. My military background taught me time management, attention to detail, and how to lead effectively-skills that directly apply to my work at Archaea. The company values military experience and is full of likeminded professionals who share a commitment to excellence. For veterans transitioning out of service, my advice is to trust in the skills you've developed-your professionalism, discipline, and leadership will not only be recognized but will also inspire those around you.
