Additional Information
What are you doing now:
I retired from the AF in 1972. I then was hired by the US Coast Guard as a civilian District Safety Manager as a GS 11. I received the Sec. of Transportation's Silver Medal for Mertitorious Achievement two times for my work in safety and I advanced in grade. I transferred to the FAA where I was ultimately Selected for the Senior Executive Service. My last postion with the FAA was Executive Leader of the Product team for GPS and Navigation. I flew FAA airplanes out of National Airport for several years as an adjunct ot my headquarters job. After I retired from the FAA I served as an ad hoc member ot the Air Force Scientific Advisory Board for three years working on air navigation issues. I also served as a member ot the civilian GPS Requirements Review Board sponsored by the Air Force Space Command. While with the FAA I worked closely with DoD on GPS issues involved in civil use of the signal. After I retired for the second time I formed a small photography business and pursued that. One thing that really gratified me was that I served with retired General Bernard Schriever on the the GPS Requirements committee. It was an honor to know him briefly. Great stories. Currently I am involved in local government and competitive age group swimming.
