About Elijah

I am a husband (25+yrs, married my HS sweetheart), father (3 grown children), and grandfather (4 grandkids, 2 granddogs). I have worked in hi-tech/defense industry for 25+yrs , typically w/ significant people leadership & management responsibilities. I have worked at start-up, mid-level, and large companies in GA, MD, and IL, and also had an extended period of unemployment during a tech downturn. For the last 10+yrs, I have been primarily supporting low SWaP sensor payloads on UAV platforms, from demonstration to operation. I have been regularly reviewed as a good mentor by my peers and reports, so I look forward to offering my experience and perspective to the veteran community during the challenging transition to civilian life.
