I wanted to express my sincere gratitude for serving as the keynote speaker at our recent Ph.D. Residency on the Daytona Beach campus. Your talk was not only inspiring but also profoundly insightful, and it was evident that our students deeply appreciated the advice and experiences you shared.

Your ability to connect with the students and provide practical guidance on navigating their Ph.D. journeys was invaluable. I am confident that the lessons you imparted will resonate with them as they continue their academic and professional pursuits.

Your broad industry experience as pilot, test pilot and technology officer across both military and civil aviation, brought unique insights into the work we have been doing at Avilution. Your combination of broad industry experience as well as depth of knowledge was very helpful both in focusing our messaging and in helping us identify new beachhead markets that could be addressed with what we have already developed.  We appreciate you leveraging your experience to help us translate that high level concept into specific market opportunities and actions to be taken.
