Jeffrey “Skunk” Allen Baxter | Missile Defense Consultant

Jeffrey “Skunk” Allen Baxter started as a musician. He was the co-founder of Steely Dan, then later became part of the Doobie Brothers. He always had an interest in music growing up and even met guitar legend Jimi Hendrix. In 1966, Baxter became the bassist for Jimmy James and the Blue Flames and went on to play with other bands. Critics later dubbed him as one of the greatest guitars for hire in the business.

Besides his passion for music, Baxter is also working as a missile defense consultant for the United States. He wrote a five-page paper where he suggested that officials could transform the Aegis anti-aircraft system into a missile-defense solution. The military later signed him as a consultant, which he is known for until today. His interest in technology and music has helped him come up with creative ideas as a consultant to his credit.
