I'm a retired U.S. Navy Commander — Commanding Officer of a T-45C training squadron that won the fleet's Goldthwaite Award, with seven WestPac deployments and four years at sea as an Operations Officer aboard the USS John C. Stennis supporting Operation Enduring Freedom, plus three-plus years flying out of Japan. Today I'm a Check Instructor and Gold Seal CFI at Aviation Adventures.

On the program and technology side, I'm CTO of Wright Intel Solutions, LLC. Earlier in my career I served as Operations Director at PVA TePla OKOS Solutions, and as SETA Lead on an ACAT I program I won a proposal against three competitors and grew the program 70% in the first option year.
