Biography:

IT Professional for 35 years. I’ve always bee interested in aircraft as my father is retired USAF fighter pilot and C-130 driver. I’ve worked for Boeing, Raytheon and Lockheed Martin through the years on avionics software for notable aircraft such as B-52, B-1, C-17, and AH-64. I live next to the US Air Force Academy so I’m fortunate to see many fly overs and Thunderbird shows all times of the year.

Profile Message:

Currently the Chief Information Officer for the US Antarctic Program. Trying to retire early and failing at it miserably. I’ve deployed to Antarctica 8 times, including serving as McMurdo Station Manager. Creating IT services at the South Pole Station is among my finest experiences.

I’m into photography, travel and this crazy game. I have flown in both a B-17 and a P-51 Mustang (bucket list items). Oh... and I enjoy long walks on the beach. BAHAHAHA!
