About Me

I am an international contract pilot with over 25 years of VIP and corporate flying experience. I’ve flown in over 70 countries and hold 9 type ratings. Since October 2018, I have been a contract pilot and mentor pilot on the EMB550 specializing in international operations. From September 2015 to October 2018, I was working as a Senior Captain for Sparkle Roll Jet in Tianjin, China specializing in global VIP/VVIP operations. I currently fly two airplanes for them. The Embraer Legacy 650 and Legacy 500. For three years prior, I was a Senior International Demonstration Captain and Standards Pilot on multiple aircraft for Embraer Executive Jets. Before Embraer, I served as a Captain for FlightOptions, flying numerous VIP clients. 

 

My qualifications are as follows:

 

▪ 10000 Total Time

▪ 8800 PIC

▪ 6400 Jet 

▪ Multiple Type Ratings

▪ Chinese Visa

 

For the past 8 years the vast majority of my flying duties have been outside the Contiguous U.S. With experience in over 60 countries and numerous Atlantic and Pacific crossings, I have gained a great appreciation for the demands and limitations of global flight operations. Having also worked for a large Part 135 fractional airline, I understand the responsibilities that each crew member has in a dynamic flying environment. My experience to date is varied but I firmly believe that my qualifications as well as my continuing dedication to safety make me a top candidate for any position.
