Bartolomei holds a PhD in Engineering Systems from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, as well as a Master’s Certificate in Legislative Studies from Georgetown University. Prior to that, Bartolomei earned his Master of Science degree from the Air Force Institute of Technology in 2001. “He knows how to synthesize information, he’s an optimist, he sees possibilities where others don’t,” Richardson said of Bartolomei. “He’s just a great human being.” (U.S. Air Force photo / Keith Lewis)
