We launched online March 1, 2012. Now we also finish stalled students' ratings at our Hogs hangar.
- Learning to flyStarted flying at 32 from a list of dreams
A motivational tape told me to list ten dreams I'd never reach and take one step. I earned my CFI at 36.
- Flight trainingFailed my first checkride and kept a notebook for round two
That beat-up notebook got me through every rating after, and it became my second published book.

I wrote it to equip people to become private helicopter pilots. It came out in January 2024.
- Helicopter Check-RideTold how I got into helicopters in a book
I wrote Helicopter Check-Ride to tell my story and pass on tips. It hit Amazon #1 within 24 hours.
- Air Medical Pilot at Omniflight HelicoptersFlew EMS for five years but missed teaching
Before that I instructed and flew pipeline patrol and charter. Point A to Point B got old; I missed training.
- Certified Law Enforcement Officer at Bourbon Police DepartmentLearned how people learn as a police firearms instructor
I chased the cop dream and made it in my early twenties. That instructor course still shapes how I teach pilots.

Born in Knox, I flew a Verti-bird from under the Christmas tree until it almost wouldn't fly.
