I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I am a corporate pilot, currently flying a Falcon 2000EX. I was in the Marines from 1993 to 1997 and spent most of my time in the desert - Twentynine Palms, CA and MCAS Yuma AZ. After I got out I became a flight instructor for The Ohio State Universty. I was a freight dog, flying air cargo for a spell, which made for some interesting stories. I worked my way up through King Airs, Citations and Learjets. Basically, I'm an aviation nut. I love to travel and meet new people wherever I go. I am pretty easy going, with me what you see is what you get.

My Interests

I like running, swimming and being outdoors. I enjoy several shooting sports, from hanguns and rifle competitions to sporting clays and try to stay competitive, schedule permiting. I'm also still very much into music. I've been playing guitar longer than I care to admit :) I like traveling to new places, meeting new people.

I'd like to meet:
