I was lucky enough to find a pair of Bald Eagles and their nest basically in my back yard this past weekend. It has been incredible to watch them just be. They are gorgeous creatures.

Please enjoy this rather poorly produced reel. I was using my iPhone and it’s quite grainy. 🦅 #baldeagles

My last official day of employment with the FAA is today. It’s a bit surreal. I had 27 years of government service, including my 5 years in the Navy.

The people at Denver TRACON are the best I’ve ever worked with.

On my recent trip to Rovaniemi, Finland, I was extremely lucky to see the very rare Polar Stratospheric Clouds. They were mesmerizing, like I could not stop looking at them. They are extremely rare and sadly some of them play a role in ozone destruction, I’m thinking these were the good happy kind 😊

Controversial opinion: focusing on saving tons of money and waiting until
retirement age to see the world is risky. There is no guarantee that you'll even
make it to retirement age. No
guarantee that you'll stay healthy and able for years to come.
