My folks took me to the local airport every weekend just so I could watch the planes and be a part of
the wonderful community of aviators. Growing up I washed airplanes in turn for airplane rides. During high school, loaded luggage for several airlines at the Miami International Airport - I’d do anything I could…just to be close to airplanes and airports.
I earned my Private Pilots License when I was 18-years old. I was fortunate to have earned all of my Flight Certificates and Ratings at Kendall Flying School in Miami.
The School was owned and operated by Mary Gaffney…..a legend in the Aviation community! Mary won the Gold Metal at the International Acrobatics Competition in both 1970 and 1972.
After earning CFI Rating, I taught at the school and worked for Mary for 3 years. I was blessed to have her as my mentor!
After several years of Flight Instruction, I attended Embry Riddle Aeronautical University and earned my B.S. degree in Marketing. I worked for Beach Aircraft as a Demo Pilot and Sales Executive.
Like many folks, Family and Life altered my flying career. I spent 30-years as a senior Sales Executive in the consumer products industry. I owned a few planes and stayed active in aviation.
I currently Co-Own and operate a Cirrus SR 22 aircraft based in Pensacola, FL.
I have decided to share my passion and love for aviation with the next generation of aviators.
If you want to learn to fly, earn an additional Rating, need a Co-Pilot, need to get Current or just want some help knocking the rust off your existing License, I can help you!
I will travel to YOUR LOCATION and work on YOUR SCHEDULE.
