Mission logistics is not a slide deck. It is schedules, suppliers, quality gates, transportation, and accountability when volumes spike and the clock does not slow down. Over more than twenty years in operations—across oil and gas, rail, defense contracting, and large-scale medical supply—I have learned that government and industrial programs succeed when leadership treats delivery as an operating system, not a one-time project.
Roles that shape the work
Today I serve as Vice President of MET Consulting, advising U.S. military, foreign government, and public-sector clients with access to an affiliated industrial platform. In parallel, public biographical materials for Azio AI Holdings / EVTV describe my service as Chief Operating Officer, following earlier service as Chief Operating Officer of Maddox Defense Inc. Across that affiliated ecosystem—including defense contracting and ECT Medical’s Berry-compliant Texas gown production—I focus on the same core problem: how to plan, resource, and execute at institutional scale.
Pandemic-era volumes, operational accountability
Public SEC biographical materials note that, as COO of Maddox Defense, I helped oversee delivery of more than 100 million COVID test kits and more than 126 million isolation gowns to the U.S. government during pandemic response. Those figures are not a claim of sole ownership of every truck or factory line; they reflect operational leadership inside a contractor platform that had to coordinate manufacturing, quality, and logistics under national urgency—including support tied to Strategic National Stockpile and HHS / DLA–oriented medical supply efforts.
The lesson for program sponsors is durable: surge capacity only works when contracts, production, and distribution are managed as one chain. Gaps between “award” and “arrived” are where reputations and readiness are won or lost.
Industrial depth behind government consulting
MET Consulting sits alongside affiliated capability in procurement, manufacturing, trucking and distribution, medical / PPE, security and protective equipment, energy, and technology energy campuses / AI infrastructure planning. Clients rarely need theory. They need partners who have already operated under audit pressure, Berry compliance expectations, and multi-stakeholder government timelines.
My own background before defense contracting includes extensive operations experience with top-tier industrial organizations—work publicly associated with companies such as EOG Resources, ExxonMobil, Halliburton, Phillips 66, Union Tank Car, BNSF Railway, and Union Pacific—plus exposure to public-company operating environments. That mix of oil and gas, rail, and defense logistics is why I emphasize discipline over drama: clear scopes, measurable milestones, and on-time follow-through.
Education and operating posture
I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Construction Management from Texas State University. Construction management trains the same habits mission logistics demands: sequencing, contingency, cost control, and field-level accountability. Whether the deliverable is a campus-scale energy plan, a PPE production run, or a defense logistics package, the operating posture is similar—define the critical path, protect quality, and communicate early when constraints shift.
What leaders should ask next
- Is manufacturing capacity already proven under audit, or only projected on paper?
- Are logistics and quality gates owned by the same operating rhythm as the contract award?
- Can the team surge without breaking compliance (Berry, FDA-adjacent, or agency-specific rules)?
- Who is accountable when volumes move from millions to tens of millions of units?
Those questions are how MET Consulting approaches government consulting engagements: clarify the mission, map a practical path, and support execution with access to affiliated industrial capacity where it genuinely helps.
