Episode 54 - Robin Maher

Lieutenant Colonel Robin Maher is a winged Naval Aviator who has flown Presidents George W Bush and Barack Obama as part of the Presidential Helicopter Squadron. He moved to San Diego in 2011, was deployed again in support of Operation Enduring Freedom, and commanded Marine Heavy Helicopter Squadron 361 from 2014 to 2016. He now works for US Special Operations Command up in Tampa.

Robin has been married to his wife Aubrey for 20 years and they have three daughters 14 year old Clarinda, 12 year old Aslynn, and 10 year old Lily. He ends his bio with “I like to surf, run, and perfect my sarcasm.” Robin was two years behind me in school, and his sister Carrie was in my class and we hung with the same kids, and I worked with his mom Connie for several years back in the early 90s - so we go way back, but I haven’t seen him since then, when he he was...well, sort of a pipsqueak, which is I assure you he is no longer.
