By request, the following is posted for your information:
Todd House, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of YourJet, LLC, is a partner in Dupont Anesthesia, PSC, and manages an anesthesia consulting company that provides services to underserved rural areas in six states.
Todd took his first flying lesson at age 13 at the Homestead Airport in Homestead, Florida unbeknownst to his mom. He holds single and multi-engine pilot certificates with instrument rating and owns a Beech Baron, which he uses for leisure, business, and Angel Flight Charity Airlift.
During his 13 years of military service (a family tradition dating back to the US Civil War) in the U.S. Navy and U.S Air Force, he earned his designation as a Naval Flight Surgeon and Air Force Flight Surgeon. His flying experience includes Bell Jet Ranger and CH-46 helicopters, the F-18D “Hornet” all weather night attack fighter, KC-10, and C-130.
Lieutenant Colonel House served with the Marines at the Marine Corps Air Station in Beaufort, SC as squadron flight surgeon for VMFA (AW)-224 “Bengals” during which time they were deployed for Operation Deny Flight at the Aviano Air Base in Aviano, Italy. He also was assigned to the VMFA-122 Thunderbolts onboard the USS America aircraft carrier during COMTUEX.
After his active duty tour, he served with several US Navy Reserve Units before “cross-decking” to the US Air Force, Kentucky Air National Guard, to serve as Chief of Aerospace Medicine. In late 2003, Todd left active reserve duty but continues on in service attached to the Individual Ready Reserve where he still holds the Rank of Lieutenant Colonel and steadfastly refuses to resign his commission, valuing service to his country above most all else.
Dr. House graduated from St. Xavier High School in Louisville (another family tradition) and earned a bachelor of arts in Biology and a Doctorate in Medicine from the University of Louisville. He completed his residency in anesthesiology at the University of Colorado in Denver and is a diplomate of the American Board of Anesthesiology.
As an anesthesiologist Dr. House “passes gas” mostly to children and parents most of whom can’t say “anesthesiologist” let alone spell it, ergo, the “gas passer” moniker that engenders both laughter and dread of the (anesthesia) “gas.” Five days a week at Dupont Surgery Center in Louisville, KY, the “real” Dr. House does his best to emulate all of the good things about the ersatz Dr. House on TV.
And, since August 2006, at the urging of friend, Bob Webb, Todd keeps pushing relentlessly to launch YourJet Air Taxi.
Todd is 48 years old, married and father to five children and two dogs. He is slightly larger than he used to be which chagrins him, but apparently not enough to stop blogging and start swimming–again–despite the well-intentioned urging of his absolutely wonderful wife of four years, Suzanne who is a completely fit personal trainer, mother to five, COO of the household, marketing expert and wildly loved friend to many.
