I have been passionate about aviation, since earning my Private Pilot ticket when I was 18. Back then, I dreamed of becoming a professional pilot, but my education and subsequent career in electronics sidetracked me. After flying as an instrument/commercial pilot for nearly three decades, I earned my CFI/I rating on my first try. I've spent a lot of time with instructors,and I hope to take the best in what I've learned from them and share it with new pilots. I also have been spending a lot of time practicing aerobatics, with the hope of someday helping other pilots become comfortable with unusual attitude safety. In my spare time, you'll find me flying my Extra 300L aerobatic plane, which I hangar at the Aurora State Airport (UAO).

I'm located in Lake Oswego , Oregon
