Ken is chair of the flight department and assistant dean for the College of Aviation on our Daytona Beach Campus. He also fosters dogs and coaches the Embry-Riddle Eagles hockey team. He started working at Embry-Riddle immediately after completing his bachelor’s aeronautical science in 2001, and was pursuing his master’s in business administration, which he completed in 2005.

We talked about how things work on the flight line, the status of the pilot shortage (at least at the time we were recording, in February 2020), and what it takes to run an ice hockey team in a subtropical climate.
