Prior to state service, Sage was an account executive with Echo Analytics Group and served as a supervisory intelligence specialist with the U.S. Army from 2015 until 2021.

In addition, Sage’s resume includes work for DynCorp International and SYTERA LLC. He served in the U.S. Army as an E-5 from 2006 to 2010.
