About Me

Need a pilot capable of adapting to any mission anywhere in the world? I am that person, with the background to prove it. I have been everything from line pilot, to operations director in the course of my contracts. I have not only flown as PIC across the globe, but taught, created operations documents and negotiated with vendors and governments in order to ensure that my missions never fail.
