Future Fighter Training Reforge SME U.S. Air Force

Jake served for almost 28 years as an US Air Force Officer and retired in 2011 at the rank of Colonel. He was a F-15C fighter pilot, graduate of the US Air Force Fighter Weapons School and successfully accomplished eight F-15 Operational and Training assignments and survived three Pentagon assignments. Jake is extensively involved with supporting the USAF as the lead Action officer and consultant for the Air Combat Command’s Future Fighter Training initiative. He has authored numerous USAF documents to codify the requirements, the justification/s and led the analysis for multiple business cases.
