Aviation Week also has accelerated its push into digital media with regular podcasts, videos, data features, infographics and eBooks.

He has won three Aerospace Journalist of the Year awards. A graduate of Ohio University, he was elected three times to the National Press Club’s Board of Governors, including one term as board chairman.
