Woodland Hills,CA

Summary

Driven by a lifelong passion for aviation, I have dedicated my career and personal endeavors to becoming an exceptional test pilot. With over 4,000 hours of flying experience, predominantly instructing in single piston engine Cessnas and Pipers, and over 200 hours teaching in multi-engine piston aircraft such as the Piper Seneca III, I have honed my skills through rigorous training and practical application. My hands-on expertise includes rebuilding and test flying a Pitts S1S and a 1940 J3 Cub, showcasing my technical proficiency and commitment to excellence. Additionally, I teach aerobatics in our Pitts S2B. As a seasoned skydiver and BASE jumper, I possess the confidence and composure to handle high-stress situations, including the potential need for emergency egress. My unique blend of skills, experience, and unwavering dedication positions me as an ideal candidate for a test pilot role.
