I started my aviation career in the Navy. I spent 20 years working and repairing jets and helicopters, and for a short time I spent time as a TFO(in-flight troubleshooter) in H60s. I started my flight training on a naval base in Rota Spain this was in 1994. I was not able to finish my Private Pilot until I returned to the states. In 2001 I returned to the states and took flight instruction with North Island Navy Flying Club. in 2006 I finished my private pilot license. I was able to utilized the VA program for my instrument then later my commercial ratings, which I obtained early in 2010. I finished my formal training for CFI with ATP in Las Vegas and Phoenix, where I received all of my instructor ratings. The biggest lesson I have learned during all my training is that I have not yet learned all there is to flying. It is an every changing always perfecting process. I look forward to making the journey with you.
