 Additional Information
What are you doing now:

  I retired in 2003 and became the Air Force Medical Homeland Defense Program Manager.  I established the current medical response capability for the AF.  All aspects to include equipping and training.  


I recently changed companies and am doing simialr things as I was before but now more exercise planning and development/execution, TIC/TIM assessments and many other HLD related topics.

The travel is good, pay is great and job and company cant be beat.  If you are a retiring/retired BEE or CE Readiness/EM peron looking for work, drop me a line.
