I established TradewindsAdriatic, LLC in 2012.

 I grew up in Holland and graduated from a high school in Poland. I moved back to the United States and joined the Air Force, where I served on active duty for 10 years.  

 As a government civilian, I worked for the U.S. Air Force,  and other various U.S. government agencies and a number of government defense contractors in management and leadership positions. I recently retired after 33 years of government service.

 Most of my employment with the government was spent living and working in Europe (Germany, England, Poland, and the Balkans, specifically Montenegro). During my employment in the government and with contractors, I gained extensive experience dealing with high-ranking U.S. and foreign government officials and made and kept valuable contacts. I speak, read, and write in Polish, German, Dutch, Serbian, and of course, English.

In my spare time I race cars. I also enjoy hiking and traveling.
