I joined the Air Force in September 1971 and served 4 years as a Personnel Specialist. I received an Honorable Discharge in May 1975 and remained in the inactive Air Force Reserves until June 1976. In June 1976, I reentered military service as a Preventive Medicine Specialist in the Army. In May 1981, I received a Direct Commission to First Lieutenant while stationed in Germany. I was commissioned as an officer in the Army Chemical Corps. In September 1990, I deployed to Saudi Arabia for Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm.

I received the Bronze Star medal for Service. In June 1991, I continued my Army education at the prestigious Army Command and General Staff College (CGSC) at Fort Leavenworth, KS. I graduated from CGSC in June 1992. I served in various assignments throughout my career culminating as a Company Commander and a Battalion Executive Officer. I retired from the Army as a Major in May 1994.

Upon retirement, I began a second career as the Senior Army Instructor (SAI) for the Lanett High School Army JROTC program in Lanett, Alabama. As the SAI, I served on various committees to include Secretary, Vice-President, and President of the Lanett Education Association. I served nearly 17 years as the SAI. I retired from Lanett City Schools in July 2010. I have a Bachelor of Science Degree from the University of Central Texas and completed graduate work at CGSC, University of Central Texas, and Jacksonville State University.

I have also, served our community as a member of the HOA Landscape Committee and as an HOA Board of Director and Board Liaison for the HOA Safety and Security Committee and the HOA Landscape Committee.

Mike Jaycox- Vice Commander

As a veteran of the Air Force and Air National Guard, from 1983 to 1988. I now serve as Vice Commander of the Trilogy of Orlando Veterans Association (TOVA), where I’ve worked diligently to expand our annual Flag for the Fallen tribute to include the Oak Tree Union Colored Cemetery and the Greenwood Cemetery, alongside Bushnell National Cemetery. I also help raise funds for TOVA through monthly bingo events held at the community event center.

Dave Maggiora - Secretary

Dave Maggiora serves as the Secretary for the Trilogy Orlando Veterans Association (TOVA), where he applies his expertise in graphics, IT, and communications to support the organization’s mission. Born on Williams Air Force Base in Arizona as an “Air Force Brat,” Dave grew up moving around the country, which gave him a broad perspective and adaptability that he brings to his work with TOVA.

Prior to retirement, Dave worked in printing, specializing in graphics production and IT services. At TOVA, he leverages these skills to create marketing materials, develop presentation content—including PowerPoint presentations—and produce informational videos that are shared during general meetings.

Dave’s contributions help ensure that TOVA’s communications are clear, engaging, and effective, supporting the organization’s commitment to honoring and connecting U.S. military veterans and their families.

David Hertle - Member-at-Large

I graduated from the University of Rochester in 1960 with a BS degree in Systems Engineering, and in 1962 with a Master of Business degree from Columbia University. I started my business career in 1962 at RCA Defense
Electronics as a Contracts Negotiator for Navy contracts. In 1966 I joined IBM as a Systems Analyst in the Federal Systems Division. Over a 30-year career with IBM, I had assignments in Systems Design, World Trade Asia Pacific Region responsible for Human Relations programs development, Corporate Headquarters Finance, Strategic Planning and Program Manager in the IBM Management Development Center. In the early 1990's I managed the Strategic Planning for the downsizing of IBM reporting to the IBM Vice President of Human Resources. In 1993 I accepted the last buyout program. I was called back by IBM to be a contract consultant for a new IBM joint venture. I worked for Challenger and Gray conducting outplacement seminars for former IBM employees. In
1992 I joined the New Jersey Army National Guard and served for six years.

In 1995, we moved from Somers, NY to Palm Coast Florida. I joined the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Management Development Center where I developed and taught business management courses for 12 years.
When Palm Coast became a City in Flagler County, I was appointed to the first Planning Board and served for four years as member and then Chairman. This Board developed Zoning and Development Standards for the
new City.

My wife Carol and I moved to Trilogy in 2018. I served on the Landscape Committee for four years. I participated on the Strategic Planning Task Group and Get Out the Vote for the Wilson Lake property sale. I have been a member of TOVA for several years and am the Member at Large on the TOVA Board.

David Cathell - Treasurer

In December 2018, my wife Linda and I moved to Trilogy following my 42-year career in public and private service. Since arriving, I have stayed active in our community by volunteering for the Landscape Committee, the Strategic Planning Working Group, as a stage hand for several Voices of Trilogy concerts and as the TOVA Membership Chairperson. Currently, I volunteer with the Sleep in Heavenly Peace Organization.

My professional career was defined by a steady progression through diverse roles in Personnel, Military Police, Community Affairs, and Operations. I retired from the U.S. Army as a Lieutenant Colonel (LTC) in 1997, concluding my service as the Director of Operations for the U.S. Army Records Management Agency. After serving as VP of Operations for a private maintenance company, I returned to public service as a federal employee.
