I started flying at age 15 and took my first solo flight at age 16. In 1994, I earned my Airframe & Power Plant Certificates.  In the next couple of years I also obtained my Instrument Rating,  Commercial Pilot Certificate and Flight Instructor with Instrument Privileges. In 1997 I graduated from Moody Aviation with a B.S. in Missionary Aviation Technology.

After graduation, I started my professional flight career including flight instructing. As a corporate pilot, I logged a number of hours in the PA46 series, the Cessna 421 C Golden Eagle, and over 1,000 hours in the King Air 200. In 2009 I went into full time flight instruction. Since that time, I have trained over 500 pilots and has expanded my services to now include insurance-approved flight training, aircraft brokerage, aircraft appraisals, and FAA checkrides.
