Summary

I am a 48 year old career change candidate. My family is the key focus of my life, and I wanted to raise my kids in a close knit environment where I could always be nearby. Now that they are mostly grown, I feel it's time for something different. I have been a pilot for nearly 30 years, but I have few hours to show for it due to time constraints from previous work. I feel that my years of experience and association with people in a vast array of industries during that time leaves me with a lot to offer for the aviation community.
