Memories of a Moonbird

Dedication This episode is dedicated to the memory of my friend James Bortak, who in high school, introduced me to the wonders of Guy Gavriel Kay’s works, and shared with me many brunches, games of chess, and cups of Twinings black currant tea, over which we discussed the stories and the magic of the world of the Fionavar Tapestry. You are missed, Jim. I hope wherever you are, your resounding laugh and brilliant soul are bringing happiness to those around you, and that you know great peace. If we see one another again someday, I hope we can brew another cup, set the pieces on the board, and let the intellectually stimulating conversation begin again. With love, Daniel TODAY ON THE SHOW! He’s one of the most successful and multiple award-winning authors alive today. He worked with Christopher Tolkien on “The Silmarillion,” has published fourteen novels and a book of poetry, and his combined works have been translated into thirty languages worldwide.

He’s a fascinating human being, and an award-winning environmentalist. He’s the Director of Government Relations and Public Policy for Scenic Hudson, the New York based organization credited with launching the modern grassroots environmental movement. There, he oversees the organization’s engagement with local, state and federal government officials, and directs grass-roots and legislative lobbying campaigns.

For over forty years, and with over 200 IMDb credits, he’s made you laugh, cry and feel everything in-between. You’ve seen him in shows and movies like Ally McBeal, Home Improvement, Small Soldiers, Hail, Caesar!, Gremlins, the Howling, and the Orville, to just scratch the surface of his long and distinguished career.

When it comes to the need for speed… he’s the real deal. As a fighter jet pilot for the United States Navy, for nearly 25 years, he flew the F/A-18 Hornet and Super Hornet and the F-16. He accrued almost 4,000 flight hours, over 700 carrier landings, and served as both a TOPGUN Instructor and Air Wing Operations Officer. Today, this family man flies for one of the major airlines and hosts his own awesome podcast called, appropriately, “The Fighter Pilot Podcast.” There, he explores the fascinating world of air combat: the aircraft, the weapons systems, and most importantly--the people. And you should absolutely subscribe. I’m excited to chat with this amazing man, and fellow podcast host, about all things jets, life in the skies, what it feels like to be in control of something moving 1,200 miles an hour… and what his experiences around the globe have taught him about life back here on Earth.
