Mike McDermott

I reported to USNA from Philadelphia, PA and enjoyed 26 years serving in Shipboard and Aviation (NFO) assignments.  I retired from the Navy in 2001 and worked for a defense contractor as a Software Program Manager in Omaha.  I've been married to my wife, Tina for 44 years and we have 2 sons and one grandson. We moved from Omaha to Charlottesville, VA in 2022 to be closer to family and friends and I enjoy traveling, working out, fishing, and most recently, road cycling.  I'm a Blue & Gold Officer for USNA, support our local Congressman's Service Academy Interview Board and am constantly amazed how smart, capable and motivated the current group of USNA candidates truly are. I'm riding in support of The Association for Frontotemporal Degeneration - my Brother-in-Law is a Gulf War 82nd Airborne Vet suffering from service-related Early Onset Dementia and to enjoy fellowship with a great group of classmates.
