As President of BDI, he provides a hands-on, engineering-first perspective to leadership, focused on delivering practical, reliable solutions to complex airside challenges.
One particularly formative project for Ross was the full-power jet blast deflector installation at Southern California Logistics Airport. “It was the first project that I was involved in every step of the way—from early planning and design to field installation and testing with the GE Flying Test Bed,” he recalls. “I’m reminded of it often when I see the JBD appear in news segments and advertisements.”
