- My military and civilian business work experience required almost weekly air travel across the USA with frequent international air travel (flight crewmember and passenger). I've experienced many of the issues and topics we will discuss in course material. As an ERAU faculty member, I have numerous contacts/resources at several airlines, major airports and military installations. I retired from the USAF in 1995 and BNSF Railway in January 2017.
Military
I have been identified as a motivated and compelling leader, astute problem solver, highly organized and detail oriented with 20 years of military leadership in the US Navy and US Air Force. I retired from the USAF in 1995 as the Senior Flight Test Navigator in the E-3 AWACS and KC-135. The first eight years of my military career I served in the US Navy as an Air Traffic Controller and transferred to the USAF to accept my commission and wings as a Navigator.
