  • Wharton Executive Education
    Revenue Analytics: Price Optimization
    Wharton Executive Education
    Focused on price optimization and revenue strategy under constrained supply conditions.

    Applied today to critical minerals and energy systems, where pricing is driven less by classical markets and more by processing bottlenecks, supply chain control, and strategic demand.
  • Siena University
    Bachelor of Science - BS, Business Administration
    Siena University
  • Harvard Business School Executive Education
    Managing Sales Teams and Distribution Channels
    Harvard Business School Executive Education
    Focused on pricing strategy, value creation, and market dynamics.

    Explored how pricing power emerges in complex markets—now applied to critical minerals and energy systems where value is driven by scarcity, processing constraints, and strategic demand rather than purely competitive pricing.
  • The George Washington University
    Human and Organizational Learning, Executive Leadership, Ed.S., Organizational Leadership
    The George Washington University
    Focused on organizational systems, decision-making under uncertainty, and leading complex, multi-stakeholder environments.

    Developed frameworks for aligning strategy, operations, and execution—now applied to building and structuring critical minerals and energy platforms across supply, processing, and capital.
  • Massachusetts Institute of Technology
    Certificate, Data Science and Big Data Analytics
    Massachusetts Institute of Technology
    Focused on using data and analytics to model complex, real-world systems. Applied today to critical minerals and energy systems—where supply chains, processing constraints, and pricing dynamics require decisions under imperfect data and evolving conditions.
  • National Defense University
    National Defense University - Joint and Combined Warfighting School, Military Joint Operations Planning and Strategy
    National Defense University
    Centered on joint operations, strategic planning, and coordination across complex, multi-domain environments. Nexus with critical minerals and energy systems—aligning supply, processing, and capital across institutions and constraints to deliver executable outcomes under uncertainty.
  • U
    Command & General Staff College
    US Army Command and General Staff College
    Focused on translating strategy into execution under real-world constraints. Applied today to critical minerals and energy systems—aligning supply chains, processing capacity, and capital across competing priorities to deliver outcomes under constraint.
  • Brenau University
    Master of Business Administration - MBA, Management
    Brenau University
    Focused on capital allocation, project economics, and operational execution.

  • National Intelligence University
    MS, Strategic Intelligence
    National Intelligence University
    Focused on operating in contested, information-limited environments—where outcomes are driven by constraints, incentives, and adversarial behavior.
