Background

About Andrew Westphal

I'm a dedicated U.S. Air Force officer with nearly 7 years of experience leading high-performing teams in aircraft maintenance and logistics operations. Throughout my career, I’ve managed complex maintenance programs, ensured mission-ready fleets, and developed solutions that drive operational efficiency and mission success. My background includes hands-on leadership of diverse teams, strategic planning, and cross-functional coordination across maintenance, supply chain, and operational units. I take pride in building strong teams, fostering accountability, and delivering results in high-pressure environments. I’m also a recent graduate of the U.S. Air Force AMMOS (Weapons School), where I trained alongside the Air Force’s top tacticians to integrate advanced maintenance strategies in support of joint and coalition airpower. In addition to my operational experience, I bring a strong academic foundation—holding an MBA from the University of Florida and a bachelor's degree in Economics with a minor in Business from the University of Texas. This combination of advanced technical training and business education allows me to approach challenges with both strategic insight and analytical precision. I'm passionate about leadership development, process improvement, and continuing to grow in roles that demand critical thinking, adaptability, and a commitment to excellence. Whether in uniform or transitioning to new challenges, I bring a mission-first mindset and a deep respect for collaboration, integrity, and purpose-driven work.
