Tim graduated from the University of Missouri-St. Louis in 2013 with a BS in Business Administration. While in college, Tim enlisted as a part-time Air Crew Flight Equipment reservist with the 303rd Fighter Squadron flying A-10s out of Whiteman AFB in Missouri.  During that time, he also obtained roughly 100 hours of civilian flight time, received his Private Pilot License, and pursued his Instrument rating. Upon graduating college, Tim set out on the UPT rushee circuit, submitting 20+ UPT applications while exerting a massive amount of time and effort traveling around the country for interviews. Tim was finally selected for an Air National Guard F-15C pilot training slot in 2014 with the Louisiana ANG. He graduated from SUPT in 2016 from Vance AFB, OK, completed F-15C training in 2017, and became a Combat Mission Ready Eagle Driver for the 159th Fighter Wing shortly thereafter. Most recently, Tim transferred back home to St. Louis and became a member of the Missouri ANG, where he is currently the Chief of Current Ops for a Combat Operations Squadron. He is full-time Guard and is qualified as a Senior Air Defense Officer for the 613th Air Operations Center at Hickam AFB, HI. Tim has spent countless hours around the UPT process, both as an interviewee and on the hiring side. While in New Orleans, Tim was the Hiring POC and oversaw the organization and search for UPT candidates, as well as consolidating that pool into qualified individuals to be interviewed. He has vetted over 500 UPT candidates and personally overseen 30+ candidates who have been selected to fly fighters and heavies in the Guard. Contact Tim at Tim@bogidope.com.
