About
Aviation is in my blood, since I could remember my parents told me all I ever talked about was airplanes. At the age of 12 I started building gas powered remote control aircraft, and at age 14 I took my first flight lesson. Soloing at the age of 16 and a private pilot at age 17. From there I quickly completed my instrument, commercial, multi-engine, and flight instructor certificates. My first airline interview was with Commutair in August of 2001. We all know what happened to the world and the aviation industry shortly after that. From there I flight instructed for another 5 years, and moved to the great Pacific Northwest. There I started flying Cessna Caravans, Twin Otters, King Airs, and eventually was hired at Horizon Airlines to fly the Q400. Eventually I upgraded to Captain on the Embraer 175. Throughout all of the ups and downs (no pun intended) of the aviation industry, I found a related skill in computer programming. Specifically web application development. This was an excellent source of income during the aviation down turns. Working mostly as a freelancer, I've developed several web applications including my latest venture AerialTours.com. As the airline industry started to improve, I was hired at Alaska Airlines as a first officer in the Boeing 737. Being an Alaska Airlines pilot is very special, we get to fly to some pretty amazing places.
