How did you get into aviation? I got into Aviation after meeting the local FBO A&P/IA David Woosley when he took me flying in a Navion and who also has made it possible for me to fly over 30 different types of airplanes.

What does “Pilot Your Own Adventure” mean to you? To me, Pilot Your Own Adventure means being able to take control. It’s taking advantage and flying anywhere and everywhere you can. Getting to explore and see new things while doing it all from the air!
