I'm passionate about flying and sharing its excitement and adventure with others. My mission is to train safe, skillful and professionally-minded pilots through individually tailored, high quality, fun flight instruction. I teach in all of Sundance's aircraft and specialize in high performance and glass cockpit transitions in the club's many Aspen - equipped aircraft.

I started flying in England almost 20 years ago and received my Private Pilot License before I'd taken my first driving lesson. I now hold Flight Instructor (Airplane Single and Multi Engine, Instrument), Commercial Pilot (Airplane Single Engine Land and Sea, Multi Engine Land, Instrument), and Advanced Ground Instructor licenses, having built up experience in over 50 different airplane types along the way.

I enjoy a wide variety of flying, from classic taildraggers to seaplanes to IFR in high performance twins. Every flight and every airplane offers an opportunity to learn - this is just one of the many aspects of aviation that I find so alluring and enjoy sharing with students.

When I'm not in the air I work as a product manager at an exciting technology startup, following roles in corporate strategy and engineering consulting. I studied at Cambridge and Stanford Universities where I received graduate degrees in Physics and Aeronautical Engineering.

I instruct part time, and am generally available on weekends and some weekday mornings / evenings. My rate for ground and flight instruction is $80 per hour, with discounts available for the pre-purchase of 10 hour blocks.
