Corporate Overview

Life for me started in San Francisco, CA, which was always an environment of unconventional people and ideas. Some of that rubbed off on me as to the way that I approach life. I adapted the attitude that anything is possible and you need to start now and not wait for tomorrow to do most things in life.

​

My tech life started with a tour in the United States Air Force as a young Airman stationed at Edwards AFB, CA. I never had any inclining of what my career would look like short of being a “Telecom Tech” in the Air Force. Being from the city that I was from, I guess the impossible was possible after all.  I was party to the proving of digital switching technology for Bell Labs while at Edwards. Imagine that?

​

After an honorable discharge, I was fortunate to be at NASA Dryden Flight Research Center (now Armstrong) supporting the Space Shuttle program for an extended period that allowed me to ride the wave of breakthrough technology as it was being worked out. Not to mention that I was supporting actual rocket scientists, astronauts, and aerospace legends of their time. It was a privilege to serve there. That was a place of possibilities and options to make the incredible happen, which suit me just fine.

​

From there my journey has taken me to serve the public federal, state, and local entities, a major automotive manufacturer, a global telecom service provider, a major university, and a high profile biotech client. So many diverse opportunities that have finally led me to dive into business for myself. Yes, I am an entrepreneur with a view of life that anything is possible.

​

What does this mean for my future clients? It means that all the experience, knowledge, and professional networking that I have can be leveraged to address your situation. Not a rookie and not confined to a corporate agenda.

 

Ashwood Research and Consulting Corp is a manifestation of who I am in corporate form...and still living by the credo of anything is possible. Borrowing from the Marine credo of dealing with an obstacle

You can go:

• Through it

• Around it

• Over it

• Under it

• Move it

• or make it disappear.

Anything is possible.

Let’s talk and see if ARCC can help you get to where you need to be.
