That cross-disciplinary background gives him a practical edge in data-driven safety assessments, tooling improvements, and automation of operational workflows. He holds a BBA from the University of North Dakota and is Missouri-based, comfortable working at the intersection of technical implementation and regulatory safety practice. Colleagues rely on him for clear documentation, quality-focused fixes, and pragmatic solutions that bridge software and aviation domains.
