Tennesse Garvey is currently a First Officer with United Airlines, and serves as the Programs Co-Chair for OBAP. Previously, he worked for ExpressJet as a First Officer and I also had the privilege of working at F.I.T. Aviation where he served as the Assistant Chief Flight Instructor for the College of Aeronautics. Tennessee enjoys being active in the community. He currently volunteers with his local American Red Cross chapter as a Disaster Action Team volunteer. Through OBAP, he has been actively involved with APIS visits along with being a part of the Houston, Boston and Newark ACE camps. During the summer of 2018, Garvey organized OBAP's first international APIS visit to his home country of Jamaica. During the course of two days, Garvey and several other volunteers met and shared with over 1,800 students from four schools across Kingston. This visit was so impactful he organized a second visit to Jamaica in later that year, where we shared with over 600 students from five schools including the Aviation Club of Jamaica. Garvey is currently planning two more international APIS visits for this year, including one to Africa.

In his spare time, Garvey enjoys playing soccer and running half marathons.
