The AFIT Foundation

In this article, The AFIT Foundation recognizes Captain Michael Pochkowski, Director (Americas) at the DAES Group.

Captain Pochkowski received his MS in Nuclear Engineering in 1985 from the U.S. Air Force Institute of Technology (AFIT). He joined the military due a sense of duty to his country, the camaraderie it offered, the ability to gain experience and leadership at a young age. Captain Pochkowski now works as a Director at the DAES Group. He helps to run the Department of Defense and Federal BU for depot infrastructure upgrades at the United States Air Force, Navy, and Army.

Captain Pochkowski’s favorite memory at AFIT was when he ran into a badger/wolverine with Dr. Bridgman. His time at AFIT offered him skills and hands-on experience, which greatly improved his critical thinking skills.

When asked about what advice he would give to those considering entering the military, Captain Pochkowski says to do it as it offers lots of opportunities if you manage your career proactively. Thank you, Captain Pochkowski!
