I have spent the past 12 years on the waterfront working directly with our Industry partners and various government entities to complete and deliver the best ships we can to the US Navy. Balancing the interests of all stakeholders while ensuring all work together is a special skill I have developed and used extensively.
"Blunt Direct Polite" is the best description of my leadership and communication style with all parties - superiors and subordinates alike.
