I'm a Program & Operations Leader based in Warrenton, VA. I'm also a Check Instructor and Gold Seal CFI at Aviation Adventures, where I've graduated 20+ students at a 100% first-attempt pass rate and earned the AOPA Distinguished Flight Instructor Award for the Eastern Region in 2026 — building on three-plus years flying out of Japan earlier in my Navy career. More on my flying background at aww195.com.
On the program and technology side, I'm CTO of Wright Intel Solutions, LLC. Earlier in my career I wrote and managed $155M in software contracts at Ausley Associates, and as SETA Lead on an ACAT I program I won a proposal against three competitors and earned a perfect base-year CPARS score.
