I retired from the USAF after 25 years of active duty service as a special operator, leader, scientist and meteorologist. I was later employed for 13 years as a Department of the Air Force civilian leader—retiring in 2018. I now enjoy RVing, gardening, home renovation, re-learning Spanish, and spending time on the beautiful Northwest Florida waters. I began instructional duty for Embry-Riddle in 1994 at the Ft Campbell, KY ERAU-W campus, and have instructed classes periodically for the university since that time.Education
