Summary
With over 35 years in aviation, my career has evolved from a ramp worker to an A&P technician, notably with Delta Air Lines. Transitioning to a Flight Engineer on the B727, then an FO on the MD80, I accumulated 7 1/2 years in corporate aviation. Returning to the 121 world, I earned type ratings on the DC9 and B737, progressing from FO to CA, then to Base Chief in Europe and eventually the US. Currently, I serve as the Chief Pilot of Regulatory Compliance. I am very eager and take initiative to problem solve. I look forward to new opportunities that aviation holds for me.

Vintage and modern Space exploration
I have had the pleasure of meeting some of my Aviation hero's; John Glenn, Buzz Aldrin, Gene Cernan and many of the other Mercury, Gemini and Apollo Astronauts. I've worked with a business partner to develop and market a working replica of the DSKY (Display Key Board) Apollo Guidance Computer (the predecessor of the FMS). Their accomplishments in Test Piloting is what has given us the technology we use today in commercial aviation.
