| Biography: | I am an aviation educator and FAA-certificated Commercial Pilot and Advanced Ground Instructor serving as an Adjunct Professor at Middle Georgia State University. I teach courses in Meteorology, Aviation Regulations, Aviation Safety, and Airline Technical Operations, bringing both academic expertise and real-world aviation experience into the classroom. I hold a Doctor of Education in Applied Educational Studies in Aviation and Space Education from Oklahoma State University and a Master of Commercial Aviation from Delta State University. My research focuses on aviation safety systems, ethical decision-making, and regulatory compliance. In addition to my academic background, I hold commercial pilot privileges with single-engine, multi-engine, instrument, and Cessna Citation 500 series type ratings. I am committed to preparing students for professional success in the evolving aviation industry through applied learning and strong industry alignment. |
| Teaching and Research Interests: | Some of my teaching areas include aviation safety, aviation law, crew resource management, airport and airline operations, business aviation management, unmanned aircraft systems, and aviation finance. My research interests focus on aviation safety systems and risk management, ethical decision-making in aviation operations and regulatory compliance, particularly within the FAA medical certification process, and emerging technologies and future trends shaping the global aviation industry. |
| Publications and Scholarships: (Last 5 Years) | Dissertation Ethical Decision Making During the FAA Medical Certification Process by Pilots and AME’s Amid the SARS-CoV-2 Pandemic. This qualitative study examined whether the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic influenced ethical behavior among professional pilots and Aviation Medical Examiners during FAA medical certification. Survey data showed no significant pandemic-related impact on ethical practices. Findings suggest pilots and AMEs generally act ethically, though pilot disclosure behaviors warrant further study. |
