Deb grew up playing GI Joe and watching his Dad serve in the Army.

Deb learned to succeed in periods of conflict as a cadet and as a junior signal officer and excelled in areas of collaboration where he could leverage his intelligence and interpersonal skills.

Deb was able to support strategic level communications from his positions in Germany and Ft. Bragg early in his career, and transitioned to Operations Research and Systems Analysis after Signal Company Command.

It was at West Point as an Instructor and at the Pentagon influencing budget appropriations where Deb excelled.

The Army doubled down on their investment in Deb and sent him to USC where he earned his PhD in Computer Science

Everything was going his way until…. it wasn’t.

This is his story.
