Who I am
Hello Everyone,
I grew up in the PAC NW and began flying in college where I received a BS in Aviation and all of pilot certificates. I began flight instructing in 2008 and did that for a year. I was able to fly about 1000 during that year of instruction and took a job with an air ambulance company in Oregon. In 2009, I started flying a Jetstream 31 as a first officer. Then in 2010 started flying a TBM7 and then became a Part 135 training pilot and later 2011 became a company check airmen. Also in 2011, I received my ATP and first type rating in the JS31. Before I left the company this year I was the assistant chief pilot and completing all P135 checkrides for the company and interfacing with our POI.
I got married in late 2012 and because of personal reasons decided to take a job in South Dakota flying air ambulance for a hospital. My start here has been very successful and could have not asked for a better employer.

I am a UPS feeder driver (tractor trailer) with 25 years of fulltime service. During that time I went from a private pilots to a Atp. I right seated at CAE/SimuFlite for 6 years in the Westwind IA jet and Hawker 700 along with pilot contract work, concurrent with working at UPS. I would love to fly for UPS, but a need a 1000 hours of tubine PIC time. I spoke with management several times in the past 8 years about the time off to qualify, we got close, but in the end they said that I would have to quit and apply when I had all of my qualifications. I do not want to go that route.
