About Me

I had been a captain with Pfizer Pharmaceuticals starting at the age of twenty three.  I enjoyed a rich and full career with them flying Lear 55's, DA 50/900's and for the last 16 years there on the Gulfstream series.  I have been on the GV/G550 since 1999.  I have extensive international experience throughout the Middle East, Europe,  The Americas, Asia and Africa.
 
Due to economic conditions at the time the Pfizer offered early retirements for employees with 25 years or more of service. I took such a package and have been flying for High Net Worth individuals ever since.  I have just finished G550/450 recurrent. I have experience as Standards/Training Captain at Pfizer and now as a Chief Pilot for the past 5 years. Additionally I hold an Aircraft Airframe and Power Plant Mechanic License.
 
I have two valid U.S. passports, French  crew-member visa and a current First Class Medical with no restrictions. I am a very healthy experienced Captain with a strong work ethic and drive.
