Personal Interests
Our family is passionate about aviation, and our hangar serves as one of our favorite places to spend time together. My wife works for Flight Safety International in Dallas on the Gulfstream GVII, G280, and ATPCTP programs. Our daughter is at JSX as a quality specialist, and our youngest son is working to become a commercial pilot as well, currently working on his instrument rating. In my spare time I am the caretaker of a North American T-28B, passed down by my late father. As an A&P/IA we rebuilt/restored the aircraft and returned it to flying condition over a period of many years. We participate in Airventure in Oshkosh and our family is involved when time allows in the Formation & Safety Training clinics. We actively use it for aviation education and as a STEM tool for school and youth groups. It is an honor to preserve aviation history as well as work and fly in modern aviation. I spent just shy of 21 years serving in the United States Air Force and am proud to have served. Integrity, respect, honesty, faith, family and helping others through service are values I hold near.
