Biography

Alan S. Colegrove, PE, PhD, has been in the international arena for over 40 years. After serving seven years as a US Navy fighter pilot, he entered the defense-aerospace industry, spending most of 30 years in international business. He has lived three times overseas, has advanced academic degrees from three continents, and has traveled to over four dozen countries, doing business in about half of them. His experiences include East Asia, the Middle East, and Europe. His doctorate was in an obscure branch of defense economics known as offsets or countertrade. Dr. Colegrove currently resides in Maryland on the Chesapeake Bay with his wife of over 35 years. He has two grown children (who, when younger, lived overseas with him on one of his assignments) and one grandchild.
