Profile

Early Career

John served the country in two full careers around the globe, spanning 36 years…

He served the first 20 years as an Air Force  officer (final promotion: Lieutenant Colonel) in flight operations ( F-111, RF-4) in the U.S., Thailand and England, and then in  missile and avionics flight test (F-15, F-111, F-4), followed by program management of missile flight test of the Advanced Medium Range Air-to-Air Missile, which remains the premier fighter aircraft missile to this day.  

In the Pentagon, he led the US Air Force headquarters management of financial and program management direction of multiple missile programs for general officer direction. 

He culminated his career as the Air Force Program Director of the High Speed Anti-Radiation Missile (HARM), used extensively in Operation Desert Storm (1991) and Iraqi Freedom (2003) to destroy Iraqi missile sites attacking U.S. fighter aircraft.  

His second phase of supporting the country's defense for the next 16 years was as the International Business Development Director of Raytheon Missile Systems Company to facilitate the Department of Defense's goal to expand the military capabilities of over 25 of our allied and coalition partner nations in Europe, Asia, Middle East and South America.

Current Business

In his third and current career, John is an international broker for gold, bitcoin, and other commodities.

Foundation

The majority of the business income is earmarked for a foundation for advancing the understanding of the overwhelmingly strong but almost universally misunderstood synergy of the Bible and science. 

There has been a needless wedge between the two factions for over two centuries, when in fact with virtually every new discovery in biology, physics and astronomy, the science is becoming evermore overwhelmingly evident that the two dovetail incredibly well, pointing to intelligent design --  from subatomic particles to all living cells to the solar system to the entire universe --  rather than random chance. 

The longstanding dichotomy is due to widespread misinterpretation and dogma in both realms for entirely different reasons.  The purpose of the foundation is to help bring the two together worldwide.

Education

John graduated  from Auburn University with a BS in Electrical Engineering.  

During various Air Force tours, he continued his postgraduate education in engineering, management and business graduate studies at George Washington University, University of Florida,  University of Texas (Austin), Troy State University in Europe (MBA), National Defense University, and the Defense Systems Management College.

While at Raytheon, he attended an executive series at the University of Chicago Graduate School of Business.
