Professional Experience
I am an internationally acclaimed military researcher, the author of two books on the U.S. Navy, the first of which, Brown Shoes, Black Shoes, And Felt Slippers; Parochialism and the Evolution of the Post-War US Navy, was endorsed by the famous Admiral Bud Zumwalt who was once on the cover of TIme magazine. My second book, Lessons Not Learned: The US Navy's Status Quo Culture was published in 2007 and endorsed by the world famous aircraft designer Pierre Sprey, who was intimately involved in the design of the renowned F-16 and A-10 aircraft. My work on combat motivation in the navy was endorsed by the world famous novelist, Captain Edward L. Beach, author of Run Silent, Run Deep, which was adapted into a Hollywood blockbuster film. I am interested in working remotely for US online and print media outlets from my current home in Korea, and in 2024, from my permanent home in Canada! My speciality is the US military, airpower, fighter aircraft, aircraft carriers, and the like. I have published 20 online articles
