Mr. Woytus leads the effort to create Synthetic Environments for pilot training at Boeing's St Louis Training Systems and Services division.

Mr. Woytus earned a BS in Computer Science from the University of Missouri at Rolla in 1987. Immediately following, he started his career in visual simulation on the VITAL product at McDonnell Douglas Electronic Systems Company in St Charles, Missouri. His primary role was to code runtime software for special effects. Other duties included integration of software, hardware, and databases at customer sites. This exposure to the synthetic environment led to a natural interest in their creation.

When the VITAL product line was purchased by FlightSafety International in 1993, Mr. Woytus stayed with the VITAL team as Manager of the Database Engineering department. During this time, he was instrumental in developing various enhancements to the database compiler, editors, and imagery capture and processing capabilities. Mr. Woytus also developed key modeling processes while integrating several state-of-the-art modeling suites, creating efficient and comprehensive methods for modeling synthetic environments.

In 2001, Mr. Woytus joined The Boeing Company's PC-IG department to build a database engineering workforce. He continues his work there leading a team of engineers building environments for various image generators.
