KC has been privileged to serve his country, the United States of America, in two capacities. First, he served 20 years as a senior human space flight engineer at NASA Johnson Space Center, supporting over 50 Space Shuttle missions, including the unfortunate honor of being on the Space Shuttle Columbia accident investigation team. Concurrently, he served 22+ years, active and reserve combined, in the United States Navy as a Surface Warfare Officer, which included deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan.

His hard-learned, life & death related missions throughout his extensive NASA and U.S. Navy careers have allowed him to build a wealth of knowledge and experience regarding building high-performing teams and mission-critical human and organizational performance from front-line, mid-level, and senior executive perspectives. Among numerous leadership, performance, and safety awards throughout his career, KC is most humbled to be a recipient of the highest safety award given directly by NASA's Astronaut Corp, the "Snoopy" award.
