I am very passionate about education. I strive to provide a more in-depth and technical education. A graduate of Florida Tech, I have an engineering background with degrees in aerospace engineering (B.S.), flight test engineering (M.S.), and cognitive engineering (Ph.D.). My flight test training, doctoral research, and expertise are focused on flight operations, avionics systems design & evaluation, and cognitive engineering.
 
As an experimental flight test engineer, I am specialized in aircraft systems, human factors, and avionics. I was formally trained in avionics design, integration, evaluation, and validation at the Human-Centered Design Institute (HCDi) at Florida Tech. I continued to professionally grow during my tenure as an Aviation Human Factors Engineer at Garmin and now very proudly as an Experimental Flight Test Engineer and Corporate Pilot at Gulfstream.
 
Although my primary work is in industry, I continue to serve academia as an Adjunct Professor of Human Factors and Cognitive Science at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University (ERAU), and a guest lecturer in both Italy and the United States.

To me, sharing knowledge is fundamental for a healthy society. I keep instructing as a vocation to accomplish just that; do my part for the next generation of pilots, upholding the highest standards that define the great American aviation tradition.
