My first sub-3 marathon. Ran this with the West Point Marathon Team as a Firstie. Negative-split the race and ran the second half faster than the first.

Army Officer | PhD, Operations Research
Army officer and operations researcher at the United States Military Academy. I hold a Doctor of Philosophy in Operations Research from NC State University. Using daily flight data from AH-64 Apache units, my dissertation characterized the latent decision structures and trade-offs that drive operational readiness. I developed interpretable, data-driven modeling frameworks that translate complex system behaviors into decision support tools for resource-constrained environments. I teach probability, statistics, and mathematical modeling to cadets at the United States Military Academy at West Point.
