Diplomat, technologist, pilot, and occasional builder of overly complicated things.
I work at the intersection of public service, systems, and practical problem-solving. Outside work, I fly, build, travel, and pursue hobbies that are easier to start than to explain.

Papa Lima Bravo
Aviation has its own site.
Papa Lima Bravo is where I keep the flying and aircraft-building material: build notes, lessons learned, references, and tools for people who enjoy the process as much as the destination.
