My career has taken me from planning and executing Special Operations missions in the Army Rangers, to leading operations for a multi-billion dollar O&G Operator, to developing strategy and organizational teams for a startup, to driving technology development at a Fortune 100 institution, to founding my own software company.

“It was great talking with Dillon. The organization he's launching is exciting. The insights he shared about product vision, assembling the team to make it happen, and moving through the development process was inspiring.
