About Me

I’m a current Chief Pilot for a Canadian corporate flight department operating the TBM930, Citation M2, Citation CJ4, and Embraer Praetor 500. I have been instructing for nearly 15 years, and continue to flight instruct in my spare time. While flying corporate aircraft, I have experience worldwide at many different airports.

My career began at a college as a flight instructor, before I moved to run my own flight school in Eastern Canada. After that, I progressed to flying Citations with a charter company before moving to a small airline on the Avro RJ100 aircraft. My real passion lies with corporate jets, so I made the move back as a Chief Pilot at my current job.
