After retiring from a 28-year career in the USAF that included over 2500 hours flying fighter and training aircraft, TJ led an aviation business unit that provided XR flight training devices for the DoD. Prior to this, TJ also led the US Air Force's efforts to transform pilot training including the introduction of XR technology. Those efforts have been replicated by the US Navy and have been adopted by both fixed- and rotary-wing pilot training including commercial aviation Electric Vertical TakeOff/Landing (EVTOL) devices. In total, the DoD have developed and deployed over 400 immersive training devices across all of the US.
