John R. Clagett
John R. Clagett, President and Founder of VTSG, recognized the opportunity to address the US military’s need to provide its units with deployable, linkable, mission-training devices incorporating leading edge commercial technology. Mr. Clagett also anticipated that by developing these military training systems, VTSG would be well positioned to enter multiple non-governmental, commercial markets. To date, VTSG has successfully penetrated the military market. As President of VTSG, Mr. Clagett has led the company through its seed round of funding and to profitability within its first year of operations.

Mr. Clagett brings over 14 years of military training process and procedures experience, including a tour as the head of training at the U.S. Navy Fighter Weapons School (Topgun), and a wealth of experience as a combat mission commander. Following his service to the Navy, he joined Whitney, Bradley & Brown, Inc. as a military consultant developing mission and weapon requirements for both the Navy and Air Force. Mr. Clagett has a B.A. in Economics, San Jose State University.
