From playing in my fathers P-51 at age 5, washing airplanes at age 12, to a full-time fueler and mechanic during High School. After my tour in the US Coast Guard, learning to fly and attending college, I moved into Aviation Management and Aircraft Sales in Fullerton, CA. At one time I had over 40 airplanes on our sales lot, plus 28 rental aircraft, maintenance shop, fuel, and a flight school. I pioneered Aircraft Financing to General Aviation. In 1989 I was hired by United Airlines and I am currently a Captain on the Boeing 767 and 757.

My father and brother pictured to the left, are also just “Plane Nuts”, the name of our boat.
