About Samuel

“Honor, Courage, Commitment” – This is more than just a motto I learned while on active duty with the US Navy. It is part of who I am, and I have spent the past 35+ years as a member of the Defense and Intelligence Community, working to make the world a safer place.

My specialties are in infusing intelligence into decision-making processes within the Federal marketplace and have been on the forefront of many industry-changing trends:

- Paved the way for IBM’s successful re-entry into the Federal space with the newly awarded Community Commercial Cloud Enterprise (C2E) contract.
- Installed, tested, and deployed the world’s two fastest supercomputers for the Dept. of Energy, capable of processing 200 Quadrillion calculations per second.
- Have worked directly with all 17 intelligence agencies, most notably the Dept. of Defense (DOD), Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), National Geospatial Intelligence Agency (NGA), and National Reconnaissance Office (NRO).

I strive every day to be courageous in honoring my commitment to excellence, if you are of like mind, I would love to “connect.”
