Flight/Flight Instruction Experience
Hello, Sometimes it is hard to explain on paper on the different flight experiences that one encounters. However I would like to mention that currentlly I am a 4th generation pilot and hopefully my son will be the 5th. I could go on and on about the stories of my Great Grandfather, my Grandfather in WWII P-40's,and my Dad and uncles 182. There are many to tell but usually I save those conversations in a personal setting with some of my students

Educational Background
I have a vast variety of education. Of course high school, University of Washington.. go huskies. But the real aviation schooling is I started out in Calavares County airport with my uncles 182, back in 1993, I did not get back into flying again untill about 2003 to finish up my private pilots license, then shortlly after my instrument license. I finished up my Commercial at Gorge Winds Aviation in Troutdale, Oregon, along with my Advanced Ground Instructor, Certified Flight Instructor, and my Certified Flight Instrument Instructor. I went to Texas to finish my Multi-engine commercial add on.

Additional Comments
I would like to start working on my MEI, and then my ATP.
