Senate General Aviation CaucusZach:
I am interested in providing any kind of help I can to the newly formed
Caucus. I do have an extensive background in aviation both military and
general aviation. I have been a strong proponent for GA in the State of
Montana and also in the State of Ohio.
My background is both military and civilian. I am a retired LTC from
the military as a base commander and currently manage the busiest
general aviation airport in the State of Montana. Kalispell City
Airport (S27) is reported to provide over $24 Million in direct and
indirect stimulus for our community. I am a member of the Montana State
Aeronautics Board representing the Montana Airport Managers Association.
I am also a founding member of the Board of the Montana Community
Airport Association.
As a strong advocate for General Aviation nationwide, I would like to
volunteer my services wherever the Caucus or Senator Tester might have a
need for background.
