I was born in Georgia in 1964, and as my father was in the military, pretty much moved all around the world since then.

When my Dad retired in the early 70's our family settled in Bedford, Massachusetts, which is where I have most of my childhood friends.

After earning a Bachelors Degree in Engineering at the University of Lowell, I entered and served in the United States Air Force where I was involved in aviation in aircraft starting with B-52s, then C-130s, and eventually working with the Navy in T-44s (King Airs)
 
While in the military I earned my Masters Degree in Aeronautical Science with Embry Riddle.

I now live in Scottsdale, Arizona with my wife, Takae and pursue two professions,
 flying for an international airline and the business of real estate
