CREDENTIALS

M.A. in National Security Studies, American Military University, 2011; B.S in Management, United States Air Force Academy, 1997

With 25 years as a pilot in the United States Air Force, I developed knowledge and expertise in aviation. As an Air Force flight instructor and leader, I helped develop the airlift crewforce via education, knowledge, and experience. I focused my efforts on aircrew retention, aircrew training improvement, and pushing the boundaries on the tactical employment of airlift aircraft. I am continuing to refine this expertise by working on my doctorate in Aviation while researching and developing the future of advanced air mobility!

Your Purpose. Our Mission.

I consider myself a life-long learner and treasure education and its impact on the mind. I have a passion for aviation and the three-dimensional thinking that it facilitates. I love teaching new pilots about the boundless excitement of being aloft in the solitudes of space. Along with this passion, I bring 25-years of experience as an instructor in the Air Force, developing the future of the pilot crew force. Finally, I love CSU’s mission to promote academic excellence in a Christian environment. This culmination of passion, experience, and morality are a perfect match for me and I'm excited to be working in CSU's Aeronautics Department! I love it here!
