During his military career, Dr. Ellis served in leadership roles at laser centers at Keesler Air Force Base and Landstuhl Regional Medical Center in Germany. While leading the Keesler Air Force Base laser center, he helped establish it as one of the United States Air Force’s most productive and cost-efficient laser centers.
