About Me

Just in case you're wondering, I'm the less attractive one on the right.   On the left is my amazing wife, Karen. 

​

When I was 36, I would cry on Sunday nights knowing I had to work on Monday for 5 days before my next weekend.  I hated my job more than I can express in words, and I have a pretty substantial vocabulary.  I felt defeated because I didn't have any marketable skills other than producing morning radio.  

​

One night, while speaking with Karen she asked me what I would do in life if there were no barriers.  I said I wanted to fly airplanes since I was a little boy.  January 7th 2016, I took my first flight lesson.  

 

My goal was to fly my butt off on the side while continuing my full time job so I could get out.   I was being offered less money for more work in radio and no one wants to do that! 

​

The goal was to be in the right seat of the flight deck by age 40.  2 months and 23 days before my 40th birthday, was my first flight as an airline pilot.  This blog is how it all happened...
