About Me – A Passion for Aviation, Safety, and Innovation

Aviation has always been more than just an industry to me—it’s a passion that has shaped my entire life. From my early career as an air traffic controller in the Army to pursuing advanced degrees in aviation project management, I’ve dedicated myself to making aviation safer, more efficient, and more innovative.

My goal is to drive change, helping airports, aviation businesses, and professionals find better ways to operate, innovate, and take care of their people.
