Bio
A graduate of Southwest Baptist University in Bolivar, Missouri, Lt Col Davis received his commission through the Officer Training School program in 2001. His career has spanned a wide variety of responsibilities including basic research in atmospheric turbulence, space weather, and quantum computing; operational test for satellite communications systems; operational training support from the individual to the COCOM level; leading operational and strategic analysis, assessment, and lessons learned at the MAJCOM; and university level teaching in mathematics and statistics. He holds a Master’s degree in Operations Research and a PhD in Industrial Engineering. His research has been published in a number of highly ranked, peer-reviewed journals.
