From one-on-one flight instruction, to squadrons of Air Force pilots, to auditoriums full of rowdy elementary school students, I’ve given inspiring and thought-provoking speeches to groups of all sizes for more than 20 years. Whether you want an aviation-focused presentation, a specific STEM-related topic, or something else, I can tailor a presentation just for your organization. Here’s some of the background I draw upon:

  • BS in Computer Engineering from the USAF Academy
  • MS in Human Factors Psychology from the University of Idaho
  • Eagle Scout
  • Proud math and science nerd
  • Missionary, english teacher, humanitarian aid volunteer in Russia and Belarus (Yes, I speak Russian. I’d love to speak about learning languages.)
  • Military and civilian flight instructor
  • Military officer
  • Air Force pilot in the TG-4A, TG-10B/C/D, B-1B, U-28A, T-6A, and E-11A with more than 8500 total flight hours, including 312 combat missions over Afghanistan and other classified locations.
