Worked as liaison and design engineer on the Orbis Flying Eye Hospital, the organization’s second generation aircraft. Medical and teaching facilities outfitted on the DC-10 aircraft bring training to doctors and nurses in developing countries. Equipped with a flight deck, classroom, technology center, and operating/treatment/recovery rooms, the flying eye hospital allows staff and volunteers travel to remote locations worldwide to complete their mission of treating and preventing vision loss.
In 2022, a retired Orbis Flying Eye Hospital became part of an exhibit at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum.
