I proudly served 20 years in the United States Air Force as an Aircraft Maintenance Technician, working on advanced airframes including the F-16, F-117, and F-22.

During my distinguished career, I:

  • Served as a Master Instructor on the F-16

Professional Evolution

My professional journey has been defined by adaptability and a passion for learning.

After retiring from the military, I translated my instructional expertise into corporate learning and development roles at prestigious companies such as:

With a degree in Architecture and extensive experience in learning solutions, I founded Affinity Learning to help businesses develop their most valuable asset—their people
