Thank you for visiting my LinkedIn profile. My career in aviation has brought me to the most incredible places and down many intriguing paths. I had exciting assignments in the Air Force as a KC-135 tanker pilot, from refueling the SR-71 over the North Sea and above the South China Sea, to refueling Stealth Fighters in Desert Storm, and defending the world in the New Jersey Air National Guard. Continuing my career flying for Airborne Express/ABX Air, in total, I've logged over 10,000 hours and 4 million miles. The most interesting, enlightening, and challenging path however began in, of all places, a Teamster Local Union in Ohio. While pursuing my MBA in finance, I was persuaded to get involved in our 401k committee as a fiduciary for our plan. I could have never imagined then, that eight years later I would end up as the Local's President, that I would negotiate hundreds of millions of dollars of labor contracts, that I would create productive, positive relationships with CEO's, statesmen, and union leaders, and work tirlessly with them for the rights, livelihoods, and safety of our members. My many union positions gave me the opportunity to learn about so much more than aviation: Labor law and air logistics, human resource management and portfolio management, aircraft selection and cargo conversion, labor economics and lobbying. Those experiences also have proven my ability to build and manage teams of people that can tackle any project.I am the fortunate husband of an extremely talented woman who is the art teacher at a local grammar school, and the proud father of two boys, graduates of The University of St. Andrews in Scotland, and Boston University. I enjoy restoring/maintaining my 1963 and 1965 Scout 80’s, golf, skiing, sailing, paddle board and kayaking.
