Ken Hurley for South Glastonbury Director
My wife and I moved to the Paradise Valley from Minnesota in March 2018. We decided years ago that we wanted to retire near our favorite place - Yellowstone.
I am a recently retired Aeronautical Engineer. Most of my 43+ year career was spent with airlines analyzing airplane performance, training flight crews and developing performance- related software. I have managed departments, managed large budgets and served on and chaired several industry working groups. Aviation is probably the most regulated industry, which requires one to respect and comply with the rules without exception; but there is also a
requirement to change the rules as needs evolve. The operation of airplanes today is vastly different from when my career started.
Obviously, as a newcomer, I don't know very many of you and I haven't experienced the history of Glastonbury. But, as a newcomer, I can serve unencumbered by that history. I have no personal agenda other than to serve the community I tend to approach things analytically and not emotionally (ask my wife). I believe that as long as we have a set of rules, they should be followed until such time that we, as a community, officially change them.
