About
Eric Jorgensen

Long story short: Dr. Eric "Rabbit" Jorgensen is a seminarian turned housepainter, turned U.S. Air Force fighter pilot, turned leadership coach certified by the International Coaching Federation (ICF); and his primary mission has become inspiring others to inspire themselves. After graduating from Princeton Theological Seminary, where he saw Top Gun for the first of many times, Rabbit amassed more than 5,000 flying hours, including nearly 1,500 as an F-15E Strike Eagle pilot in the United States Air Force. His novel, Frames of Reference, is not about a fighter pilot, but he has corrected that oversight with his second book, Wingman Life: Living & Leading Like a Fighter Pilot, which is a memoir drawing on his experiences as an aviator and a leader. Rabbit didn't have the terminology when he wrote Frames of Reference, but he now realizes, looking back, that both books are about "WINGMAN LIFE," just as both are tributes to his father. Rabbit lives with his wife in Northern Virginia, within striking distance of the Shenandoah Mountains. His passions include writing, hiking, cycling, traveling, eating well, hanging out with family and friends doing all those things and others, and being a wingman who "flies alongside" others who are ready to propel their leadership performance and outcomes to new heights, empowered by a deep sense of purpose. Rabbit wants to help leaders - and readers - survive and thrive with wingmen of their own, regardless of the challenges they face.
