I am an active duty officer (Commander) in the Hellenic (Greek) Navy currently stationed at NATO Headquarters in Norfolk, VA. I am eligible for retirement upon submission of intent, a process which will take approximately three months.
I am a US citizen, fluent in English, Greek and conversant in German. I am married with two children ages 13 and 11 who are also US citizens; my wife has a permanent visa eligible for US citizenship within 24 months and it is our intention to reside in the United States.
I have twenty years of technical and management experience with complex navy operational systems on a multinational level. Through continuing education and training programs I maintained operational excellence and have refined my interpersonal skills to make a difference.
My career started in 1990 with my commission as an ensign in engineering, operations, maintenance and repair of ships and shipboard systems. I have held management positions from supervisory to senior levels and I pride myself on being a team player able to motivate and effectively communicate up and down the chain of command.
