BUDDY BURKE
29 years in aviation taught Buddy that human factors, not technical skills truly create the edge. A demanding environment reveals the best performers.
There is an effective way to know this beforehand- with the right assessment!
So, Buddy founded Pacific Innovators to help businesses in California and nationwide improve their results through better hiring and employee retention processes. Pacific Innovators uses the latest technology combined with years of experience to deliver excellent results, and a better bottom line.
Prior to that Buddy enjoyed a pilot career with the Air Force, Pan Am (in Berlin, Germany) and American Airlines, and as a classroom instructor for Virgin America.
Buddy received degrees in business and math at Valdosta State University in Georgia, and more recently studied Alternative Energy, Writing, and Entrepreneurship at UC Berkeley Ext.
He and his wife Holly live happily in Walnut Creek, CA. ("Buddy Holly," get it?)
