With 27 years of professional aviation experience, 14,743 total flight hours, 8,553 hours PIC, and extensive international command experience, I offer a strong combination of airline discipline, private aviation experience, leadership, and worldwide operational knowledge.

Most recently, I have focused specifically on business aviation, serving as Captain on the Falcon 2000 LX/LXS/EX EASy II for a Canadian ultra-high-net-worth principal, following previous experience as a Learjet 45 Captain. These roles strengthened my understanding of the standards expected in private aviation, including discretion, confidentiality, flexibility, exceptional service, attention to detail, operational preparation, and professional representation of the principal and organization.

I am also Gulfstream G700/G800 type-rated, having successfully completed initial training with FlightSafety International in Savannah, Georgia, in August 2026. This qualification reflects my commitment to continuing my career in high-level business aviation and operating modern large-cabin and ultra-long-range aircraft.

Throughout my career, I have operated in more than 80 countries worldwide, with extensive oceanic and long-range international experience. I am comfortable managing international trip preparation, flight planning, weather and route analysis, crew coordination, maintenance communication, FBO and handler coordination, documentation, and interaction with international authorities and service providers.

aircraft. The role requires protecting the principal’s privacy, anticipating operational needs, adapting to changing schedules, supporting the crew, and delivering a seamless travel experience while maintaining uncompromising standards of safety and sound judgment. My airline command and instructional background has also given me a strong foundation in CRM, standardization, crew leadership, training, international operations, and operational decision-making. I hold an FAA Airline Transport Pilot Certificate and FAA First-Class Medical and am a U.S. Permanent Resident authorized to work in the United States. I am available to begin immediately, flexible regarding schedule and location, prepared for extensive worldwide travel, and willing to relocate as required.
I would welcome the opportunity to discuss how my command experience, international background, business aviation experience, and commitment to safety, discretion, and service could contribute to your flight operation.

Thank you for your time and consideration.
