From: C152 Captain
Hello all,
Private pilot out of the Twin Cities working on my Commercial, Instrument, and CFI. Got bitten by the aviation bug as a kid at Kona International (back when it was still Keahole) where I spent many a summer just hanging out.
Built up quite a few fond memories there, including summer plane rides around the island, seeing the Concord up close and personal, getting a tour of an at the time "Experimental" 777 by a Boeing test pilot, and being invited onto a 747 flight deck by a JAL captain who proceeded to let a then 10-year old me punch in waypoints for the next flight on the CDU (under his close supervision of course!).
Some years later, after going through a few career changes (Tech support at a "fruit" computer company, EMT-B, etc) an encouraging wife bought me a few flight lessons for my birthday after she found out I had years before gotten 10 hours into my Private pilot only to drop out due to high costs at the time. Needless to say, I got hooked again, and thanks to her, got my certificate.
Lots of dividends to pay between now and wide body captain at a major, but still looking forward to the road ahead!

Introduction
Hey, everyone!
I have been following APC for a couple of years now but rarely post and have never introduced myself.
I am 50 years old and own and operate a small business. In the past 18 years or so, I have used about five different airplanes to support my business and have built up my time in the process.
About three years ago, after I got my Type Rating in an Eclipse, I decided to get my ATP. Shortly thereafter, I started flying as SIC in a couple of Part 91 operations. Now, I am a contract pilot and am looking to expand my professional flying.
My times are:
