Retired from the Navy following 20+ years of service and over 5000 flight hours as an Instructor Naval Aircrewman on P-3’s. Currently work for an engineering company that provides services for the military on several programs. After the military I continued my professional development (college education) with Embry-Riddle earning a Master’s in Aeronautical Science. My passion for aviation and the interest of passing that on to others led me to becoming an Instructor.
