About

I have a deep experience and knowledge of the aerospace industry, working within the industry since 1986, on various commercial and military aviation projects since then. I have been an Engineering manager for small Engineering teams and been closely involved in mentoring/training Interns and new employees. Most recently I supported the Boeing 747-8 Flight Test Engineering program at various locations around the US. I also supported the Boeing KC-46 Pegasus testing program. I recently worked for MD Helicopters, working in Afghanistan supporting the Afghanistan Air Force, the US Army and the US Government. I am currently employed by The Boeing Company as a Senior Liaison/MRB Engineer on the 777/777x program.
