As Lieutenant Colonel in the Air Force, Joe served in key operational and program staff positions with the Strategic Air Command, Pentagon, Air Education and Training Command, and at the Twelfth Air the Force Headquarters.
Following military service, Joe was the McDonald Douglas Deputy Program Manager for the Air Force T-1A. He then held a senior management position with Beech Aircraft Company on the joint Air Force / Navy T-6 Training System (hailed as the best pilot training system in the world). That success led to him being named Product Manager on two different light jets.
It was during this tenure that the skills and attributes honed throughout his collegiate, military, and business career earned him a reputation for the one of the most respected and knowledgeable program managers in aviation. He is known throughout the business aircraft industry for integrity, a customer oriented philosophy, and an analytical approach. On multiple occasions, he was cited by customers as a major reason they bought the aircraft with which Joe was associated.
