I had been a captain with Pfizer Pharmaceuticals since 1983 at the age of twenty three. I enjoyed a rich and full career with them, first flying  Lear 55's, then DA 50/900's  and for the past 16 years 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. 

Pfizer had offered early retirement packages to some senior employees and I choose to take advantage of their offer. I have experience as Standards/Training Captain at Pfizer and also have charter sales experience on jet aircraft. I hold an Aircraft Airframe and Power Plant Mechanic License.

I am currently employed full time on a G550 out of the Northeast that only operates a few days a month. This schedule affords me many opportunities to do contract flying. 

I hold two valid U.S. passport and a current First Class Medical with no restrictions. I am a very healthy pilot with a strong work ethic and drive .
