Mr. Broadnax has established a distinguished career in public service and military leadership, marked by more than three decades of experience across federal government and armed forces roles. Since 2014, he has served as program manager and program analyst within the Office of the Chief Financial Officer, Implementation Division at the United States Department of Agriculture.

Throughout his tenure at the United States Department of Agriculture, Mr. Broadnax has managed numerous projects that typically span one to two years.

This initiative ensured that payments were delivered more promptly, directly benefiting agricultural stakeholders.

Mr. Broadnax also led a transformative project that enhanced the efficiency of benefit distribution for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program and Electronic Benefit Transfer recipients, a deeply personal accomplishment given his own experiences as a beneficiary during childhood. This work has enabled families in need to access funds more quickly, reinforcing his commitment to public service. Prior to his current role, he was an SAP consultant with NS2 Serves in 2014, where he applied his expertise in enterprise resource planning systems to support business process integration and procurement functions.

Earlier in his career, Mr. Broadnax completed a tenure in the U.S. Marine Corps, where he served from 1993 to 2013.

He also served as a logistics management specialist, focusing on optimizing logistical processes for mission-critical operations, and as a human resources generalist.

Mr. Broadnax's military career further includes data entry responsibilities from 1993 to 2006, where he maintained accurate records essential for operational effectiveness.

Furthering his expertise, he is an active member of industry organizations, including AAFEA Inc. and the National Black MBA Association Inc., and holds numerous relevant certifications.

Reflecting on his career, Mr. Broadnax attributes his success to his tenacity and a refusal to quit, qualities shaped by his upbringing as a middle child responsible for younger siblings. He also credits his mother for instilling in him a deep sense of responsibility and compassion for others. His core motivation centers on serving those under his care and helping them achieve success sooner than he did.

Throughout his career, Mr. Broadnax's exemplary service has been recognized with several honors, including a Commendation Medal from the U.S. Navy, a Commendation Medal from the U.S. Marine Corps and a Certificate of Appreciation from the United States Department of Agriculture.
