About me

I am a prior military aviator and current civilian pilot. 

  • Military:  I have thousands of hours in military aircraft including the F/A-18 Hornet and the U-2 Dragon Lady.  I flight instructed in Naval advanced Jet training and later in the U-2.
  • Civilian: I am a current airline pilot.  I hold, CFII, MEI, ATP certificates.  I have been flying and competing in aerobatics for years.

I am happily married to my wife Alyssa for over 20 years and have 4 wonderful kids.  We reside in Loomis, CA.


I love the challenge and adventure of aerobatic flying.      Sharing this passion with other people is a true privilege!

The Aircraft

A 1979 Bellanca Decathlon Aerobatic trainer.  This aircraft has a full inverted fuel and oil system and is stressed to +6 to -5 G’s.  It is an iconic aerobatic aircraft perfect for aerobatic instruction and is capable to the intermediate level of aerobatic competition.

Philosophy

Learning aerobatics is more than just flying loops.  A productive flight starts with solid ground instruction.  This sets the foundation of the flight, giving the student a clear understanding of what to expect with achievable goals.  Instruction utilizes a building block approach with instructional aides for understanding.

Upset Prevention and Recovery Training will make you a safer more competent pilot for all types of flying.  Learn how to prevent an undesirable aircraft state and how to safely recover from unusual attitudes with confidence.   

CFI Spin endorsements

CFI’s are a corner stone of our aviation industry.  They spend countless hours teaching stalls,  slow flight and maneuvering flight.  This puts the crew at the edge of controlled light.  Learn critical skills to prevent and recover from spins , spirals ,and undesirable aircraft states.  And ultimately learn how to convey these concepts to primary flight students.
