After graduating from Gonzaga University, I spent over a decade at Boeing Commercial Airplanes, mostly as a Structural Analysis Engineer, where I reviewed, analyzed, and tested airplane mechanical systems components to show compliance to FAA structural regulations and Boeing requirements. I created requirements and test plan and procedure documents for internal use and external suppliers; recorded and documented test results. I collaborated with and led large interdisciplinary teams to achieve significant program goals, including as test director for multiple major airplane-level certification events, and gained competencies in PATRAN/NASTRAN and CATIA. I then earned my Commercial Pilot Certificates (Airplane Single- and Multi-Engine Land) and Flight Instructor certificates, both with instrument ratings, and began work as a flight instructor, leveraging deep knowledge of regulations, procedures, and airmanship, as well as strong leadership and interpersonal communication skills, to provide comprehensive flight and ground instruction to students seeking FAA certificates and ratings in a highly-structured Part 141 environment. I was also a designated Part 141 Check Instructor. Then I was fortunate enough to join Contour Aviation, where I currently work as a first officer on CRJ-200 jet aircraft, transporting high-net-worth individuals and their guests in charter service around North America. I also work as a sports official, working closely with crewmates within a highly-defined system of responsibilities to administer basketball, football, and soccer contests in a high-stress, high-workload environment at levels from youth to NCAA Division II. I have mentored less-experienced officials and trained classes of new referees. Finally, I have for the past 8 years worked as a Logistics Director for National Academic Quiz Tournaments' large national championship events. I recruit, train, organize, and lead teams of up to several hundred volunteers from around North America for annual academic championships, creating staff assignments, lodging, and travel and leading and motivating volunteers during events.

Listed skills include Microsoft Office, Msc.Patran, Finite Element Analysis, Process Improvement, and 2 others.
