## Meet the founder

Hello and welcome!

Having worked in aviation for over 30 years, I've gained a broad perspective on the industry, markets and, the international regulatory and technical standards landscape.  My background ranges from development and certification of on-board systems, to data communication systems supporting connected aircraft concepts, and traffic management concepts supporting operations of emerging airspace users.

I'm happy to talk about your needs to see how I can help!

  - Bob

## Why "GXA"?

I was first licensed as an Amateur Radio operator in 1976.  The ham radio hobby fueled my interest in electronics which eventually became my vocation, leading me to a long career at Collins. 

GXA is the suffix to my FCC license.  I chose the name of the company as a tip of the hat to the hobby and to a famous ham, the founder of the Collins Radio Company, Arthur Collins.  - Bob
