I am the founder and CEO of Lion-Archer LLC which leverages local networks in the Middle East and a deep socio-economic awareness to lead US companies to overlooked yet lucrative business opportunities with a special emphasis on the Gulf Cooperation Council countries. Prior to launching Lion-Archer LLC in 2012, I completed a 20-year career in the U.S. military serving in a broad range of leadership positions from Special Operations to the Military Attaché corps. I began my career as a Middle East intelligence analyst and later developed into a Middle East Foreign Area Officer where I led Special Operations aviation advisory missions, diplomatic engagements and negotiations with foreign military and governmental officials in over 15 countries throughout the Middle East and Central Asia. In my last two assignments before launching Lion-Archer, I served as the Deputy Foreign Policy Advisor to US Special Operations Command and a Military Attaché at the U.S. Embassy in Muscat Oman. I received a Bachelor’s Degree from the United States Air Force Academy and a Master’s Degree in Middle East Studies from the United States Naval Postgraduate School. Additionally, I have served in combat operations in Iraq, as a Military Attaché in Afghanistan as well as Special Operations foreign advisory missions in Yemen, Pakistan, Uzbekistan, Kuwait, Jordan and Iraq.
