MBAA is pleased to announce Dr. Tony Kern as our keynote speaker for our Annual Safety Dinner.
Dr. Kern, a US air Force retired Lieutenant Colonel, is the Founding Partner and CEO of Convergent Performance, LLC, a veteran-owned small business dedicated to improving human performance in high-risk operations and maintenance. Tony is one of the world’s leading authorities on human performance in time constrained, error intolerant environments and has received multiple awards for his work.
In 2015, the National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) announced the creation of the Dr. Tony Kern Professionalism in Aviation Award to honor his contributions to professionalism around the globe; and, to date, there have been over 90 award recipients.
Tony is the author of nine books on human performance, including the award-winning “Plane of Excellence” trilogy, and in the past decade, he has broadened his approach into mental health wellness concerns.
Dr. Kern is also a featured columnist and Contributing Editor for Skies and Vertical Valor magazines. In addition, his expert opinion has been sought for interviews on the Fox Business Network, Bloomberg TV, the Discovery Channel, National Public Radio, NBC Nightly News, and 48 Hours with Dan Rather, among others.
Tony is a graduate of the Federal Executive Institute and the U.S. Federal Government Senior Executive Service Development Program and holds Master’s Degrees in Public Administration and Military History, as well as a Doctorate in Higher Education specializing in Organizational Culture and Human Factors training design.
He has deep operational roots in the U.S. Air Force as a Command Pilot and Flight Examiner in the B-1B bomber, as well as diverse senior staff and leadership experience, including service as the Chairman of the U.S. Air Force Human Factors Steering Group, and Director and Professor of Military History at the USAF Academy.
Tony enjoys hunting, fishing, sports of all kinds, and writing. He and his wife of 34 years currently live with their animals—surprising in both their number and variety—on a Texas ranch west of San Antonio.
