About Me

My name is Guy, and aviation has been a passion of mine for as long as I can remember. Growing up, some of my favorite memories were attending aviation fairs with my dad. From there, I slowly moved forward with obtaining my Private Pilot certificate and Instrument rating. I'm currently working on my Commercial certificate in hopes of one day becoming a CFI and moving onto the airlines!

My simulator journey started when I was very young with my dad. It began with the Logitech yoke and throttle quadrant, a laptop, and one 20" monitor. It's since developed into a much more capable simulator emulating aircraft with custom flap controls, a G1000 panel, and other hardware tailored to what I was flying in real life.

I have experience flying and training in both traditional steam gauge aircraft and G1000-equipped planes, and I'm currently expanding into larger jet aircraft and their systems.

I'm thrilled to be part of the Flight Sim Coach team and can't wait to help you get the most out of your simulator experience!
