Since getting the Afterburner Club blog up and running, I just wanted to give my thanks to those of you who have already signed up to the news feed and have joined us on Facebook.

Since many of you are new to the Afterburner Club, and for those of you who I haven’t already met through the live calls, and in person at the meetings, I thought that this would be a great opportunity to tell you all a little about myself, my career as a fighter pilot, and why I am so passionate about helping young men and women such as yourselves get your opportunity to have one of the most exciting jobs in the world!

When I began my career as a fighter pilot, I really had no idea of what to expect, and how to get the results I wanted. I really wish that there had been a program such as the Fighter Pilot Power Pack, and a club like the Afterburner Club that could have made my job of getting from A to B a whole lot easier and faster! I started my career like most of you will, going through the stressful process of applying, training and hoping.

In my long and successful career I’ve flown multiple combat missions over Iraq and have fought Russian MiG-29 and MiG-21 aircrafts. I have served as the ‘Marine Corps’ leading expert in fighter maneuvering and in F-18 tactics, and am a graduate of the Navy’s Fighter Pilot Weapon School, “Top Gun”.

Recently, I served as a key player in the development of airborne tactics for the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter – the next generation fighter aircraft. I have got to travel the world, live in crazy conditions, and ultimately have the time of my life while getting paid and serving my country at the same time! I really count myself blessed.

From the start of my career as a fighter pilot, to the present I have seen great men and women trainees making mistakes that end up costing them their chance to have the job of their dreams.

That is ultimately why I started this club, and designed the Fighter Pilot Power Pack, because I wanted to truly prepare passionate people such as yourselves to succeed.

I want to take this opportunity again to congratulate you on taking the initiative to invest in your future, and let you know that I am committed to making every last one of you, with your work and effort,  succeed!
