I'm a Washington, DC, area native raised in a flying family. I am a Commercial Pilot and flight instructor with Airplane, Helicopter, Instrument, and Multiengine ratings. My time as a pilot goes back to 1983, and since then I have accumulated over 3,200 hours' experience in dozens of aircraft types, from Piper Cubs to Turboprops. Aviation has been a lifelong hobby and passion, and although I don't fly as my full-time profession, I take safety of life very seriously, and I am grateful that our family's business allows me the flexibility to volunteer my skills in support of charitable medical, educational, and disaster relief work.
