Where did you learn to fly?
Sea Land Air, CZBB

Why did you start flying?
I was very fortunate to grow up in an aviation family and was exposed to the wonder of flight at an early age. I can recall that nearly every weekend I would fly right-seat with my father in our 1967 Piper Cherokee. It was these early experiences and the encouragement from my family that drove me to pursue my private pilots license when I was 17. Now more than 5 years later I am flying left-seat of that same Cherokee and I can confidently say that flying is my life's greatest passion. 

What airplane did you learn to fly in?
DA20 Katana

What airplane do you fly now?
Piper PA-28 Cherokee

What is your favorite kind of flying or place to fly to?
Aerobatics (hoping to achieve an aerobatics rating one day)

In a few words describe what the BCGA is to you:
BCGA continues to inspire me to grow my skills as a pilot and become a more engaged member of our community. BCGA has also been instrumental in igniting the passion for aviation in many young aviators and soon-to-be aviators.
