Rory was one of my Company Commanders while we were both forward deployed to the Middle East. He remains one of the most impressive junior officers that has worked for me. His ability to work aggressively and take initiative on creating solutions to problems is unique. He solved very complex problems during crisis moments while deployed, and most importantly, was able to communicate intent and implementation of the solution to senior leadership. A trait I highly valued. Additionally, he crafted an environmental plan for Kuwait, creating local partnerships to support the plan, that achieved enormous success for all service members. His ability to see where sustainability issues can be implemented is singular to his innovative way of thinking. He is always focused on results and quickly builds the team around him to achieve success. He receives my strongest recommendation for anyone seeking his talents.

Rory worked for me for several weeks during our pre-deployment training and also worked with me as a colleague within the Navy Customs Battalion during our deployment. He is an outstanding leader and has a superb analytical mind.
During our pre-deployment training, Rory’s leadership was critical to the forming of a cohesive team out of 150 individuals pulled together from dozens of different locations across the country. Throughout deployment, Rory was chosen by our Group Commander for several challenging jobs in multiple countries. He also delivered multiple well developed personnel and mission analyses that resulted in significant financial savings.
I would gladly have Rory on my team again or work with him in the future.
