Fly a Citation Mustang single-pilot for a private owner across day, night, IFR, and long cross-country missions. Manage the full operation: aircraft acquisition, maintenance oversight, AD/SB tracking, RVSM/MMEL compliance, and trip planning. Sole point of contact for short-notice departures and complex itineraries, delivering concierge-level service to high-net-worth clients.

Instruct professional and high-net-worth clients in Cirrus SR20, SR22, and SR22T aircraft equipped with Garmin Perspective (G1000), Perspective+ (G1000 NXi), and Perspective Touch (G3000). Serve as a Cirrus Training Center Instructor (TCI) using the Cirrus Approach syllabus, with scenario-based training focused on automation management, weather assessment, personal minimums, and real-world decision-making. Deliver transition, recurrent, IPC, and flight reviews, specializing in night, overwater, and IMC operations. Maintain a clean safety record throughout.

Federal criminal investigator (GS-1811-13) conducting complex investigations for the U.S. Department of Defense over a 22-year federal law enforcement career. Operated daily in high-stakes environments where procedural discipline, sound judgment, and integrity were non-negotiable. Held an active Top Secret/SCI clearance and instructed nationwide at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center (FLETC). Brings that same rigor, reliability, and trustworthiness to every flight operation.

Founded and helped build an early web hosting and domain company from the ground up, growing it to roughly 60,000 domains and about $2.5M in annual recurring revenue before its acquisition by Interliant. Wore many hats across technology, operations, and customer growth during the early commercial internet era. An entrepreneurial foundation that still shapes how I solve problems and run an operation today.
