Retired Air Force Instructor Pilot and former avionics test pilot now working full-time as an aircraft manager, contract pilot, and flight instructor. Also available for Mountain Flying instruction & mentor piloting in high-performance pistons, turboprops, and Citation series jets (CE-500 series). Over 500 hours in Piper M-class airplanes (ie Malibu​/​M350, Meridian​/​M500, & M600). Familiar with a wide variety of avionics and proficient in most Garmin products. As a resident of Albuquerque, I have more than 25 years of flying experience in multiple settings including military (Air Force Special Operations Command), corporate, flight test, and charter. Having flown 37 different aircraft, I am the “go-to” person for high-performance and single-engine turboprop mentor flying. I teach locally in New Mexico but also travels to clients for on-site training, rating completions, check ride prep, and other contract flying duties including acceptance flight testing, ferrying, and aircraft management.
