My flight experience includes Cessna, Piper, Diamond, Beechcraft, Bellanca and experimental aircraft, most notably the T-6A Texan II and the Cessna 208 Caravan. I bring a strong foundation in leadership, aircraft systems, technical problem-solving, risk management, and customer service to every flight operation.
