I'm primarily focused on flying 3D - helicopters, however in the past I raced cars, and flew 3D aerobatic airplanes. My professional background is in IT and web development.

RC Experience

Responsible for RC Helicopter sales and support

HOBBY DESTINATION, CHANDLER AZ

Shop Pilot and helicopter product acquisition/support.
As the shop heli pilot I was the go-to ‘heli-guy’, and I loved it! From building, to repairs, to flight training; I did it all. I also enjoyed discussing setups and equipment choices with customers.

Leadership
I've recently co-created a Facebook group and YouTube channel called Progressive Heli Learning to help pilots learn and progress their flying skills. I'm hoping for personal growth and the opportunity to educate, share drills and best practices, to benefit the helicopter community. It would be great to see more talent develop.

Events
The events I attend annually are: Phoenix fun-fly, Las Vegas fun-fly, San Diego fun-fly, IRCHA, and Southwest Heli Rodeo.
