Personal Interests
Business leader, aviation educator, and pilot in the Menominee, Michigan / Northeast Wisconsin region committed to remaining in private aviation. I serve as the Chief Flight Instructor at Blue Sky Aviation, operating out of the Menominee Regional Airport (KMNM). With over 9 years of experience and more than 3,400 flight and instructing hours, I specialize in everything from primary private pilot training to multi-engine commercial ratings and career pilot programs to business executive transportation. Beyond the cockpit, I am actively involved in promoting general aviation safety and community service and enjoy creative engineering projects.
