Howdy!
I have been looking for a new line of work either in BCS or remotely for the last 2 months after being let go from my previous job as a Systems Analyst/Agile Scrum Master/Project Manager (2018-2025). My employer was forced to lay me off since there were not enough government contracts for me and I was not an Engineer or Computer Scientist. During my time with last employer, I was also a Part-Time Lecturer for the Department of Meteorology at Texas A&M from 2018-2020.
Most of my career was spent in the Air Force as a Weather Officer from June 1994 to December 2017. The Air Force was very good to me paying for 3 of my 4 degrees:
Master of Human Relations at OU (1997)
Master's in Meteorology at A&M (1999)
PhD in Meteorology from Naval Postgraduate School (2011)
I earned my B.S. in Meteorology from Florida State in 1994.
Here is a good summary of my professional work career:
Gig 'Em & God bless,
