Procurement & Supply Chain Operations Executive | CEO, Pyro Purchasing Partners I am a U.S. Marine Corps veteran and procurement and supply chain operations executive with a background spanning F/A-18 aviation maintenance, aerospace, advanced robotics, hydrogen infrastructure, manufacturing, consumer products, e-commerce, and government contracting. My career began supporting F/A-18 A/B/C/D aircraft operations as an Environmental Control Systems and Ejection Seat Technician. I also served as a Collateral Duty Inspector, Turn-Qualified Technician, Shop Supervisor, Certified Cryogenic Technician, and Hazardous Materials Shipper.
