I recently retired from the US Air Force officer and I have an extensive logistics background including joint service logistics expertise.  I have more than 27 years of experience in acquisition, logistics management, supply-chain management and military/civilian maintenance operations.  Additionally, I have a pretty varied experience in personnel leadership and project management.  As per usual, I’ve had various military assignments from a base-level supply squadron to the C-5 Programmed Depot Maintenance production line as well as contingency deployments including OIF and OEF with conventional and special operations forces.  Currently, I work for Lockheed Martin in Fort Worth, Texas managing F-35 Modifications, Upgrades and Overhaul planning and integration after three years in the F-35 Joint Program Office.  I've been teaching for ERAU since 2004.  I’m married with two children, a 22-year old son and an 19-year old daughter.  I’m a dedicated family guy and we love to play golf and ride dirt bikes.
