Mark Brown has enjoyed a distinguished career as an Air Force fighter pilot, engineer, NASA astronaut, NASA manager and corporate manager. His unique combination of operational, technical and managerial experience has made him an invaluable asset to the Air Force, NASA and the corporations he has worked for.
