Flight/Flight Instruction Experience
I have flight instructed in Tulsa and Bartlesville, Oklahoma. Greenville, Anderson, Greenwood, Newberry, Columbia, and Winnsboro, South Carolina. I have also flown across all of the souther states as far west as Arizona. I have flown from South Carolina to the Atlantic Highlands, New Jersey. My favorite flight was a five day trek from Atlanta to Phoenix Arizona and back. This was to gain time for the Commercial Certificate with ATP Flight School.

Educational Background
Attended Airline Transport Professionals in Atlanta, Ga during the spring of 2008. There I earned multi engine, instrument, and flight instructor ratings in single and multi engine aircraft. I also have a Certificate In Small Business Management from Greenville Technical College. I was a member of USMC from December of 1993 to 1997.

Additional Comments
I am flexible enough to train students as little as twice a month on up to several times a week. I recently had a student who started his training on June 14, 2009 and he passed his practical test (checkride) on August 28, 2009. I can help with an accelerated training program as well as a self paced program. My current students range from a 77 year old Private Pilot to a 16 year old young man who is pursuing his Private Pilot License.
