I grew up around aviation and started flying when most kids were learning to drive.  I soloed in an Aeronca Champ just after my 16th birthday.  After college, work and family kept me busy and I was away from aviation for over 20 years.  I returned to the cockpit in early 2020 and completed my commercial and flight instructor certificates as well as my seaplane rating.  Now I'm providing flight instruction in the Omaha Metro area.
