PROFESSIONAL PILOT INSTRUCTOR
After nearly two decades of flight instructing in mostly single-engine Cessnas as a hobby, in 2022, I retired from full-time ministry and returned to aviation. I accepted a First Officer position with a Part 135 Air Carrier that offered a Second in Command (SIC) training program that led to a Second-in-Command Type Rating in the Embraer 505 Phenom 300 turbojet, and a position as First Officer. After flying in this role for one year, in 2023 I completed pilot upgrade training in Dallas, TX, where I earned my Airline Transport Pilot Certificate and Pilot in Command (PIC) Type Rating in the Embraer Phenom 300 (light jet). After upgrade to Captain and honing my PIC skills, another transition was forthcoming. In 2024, I left the charter company so we might move closer to my wife's mother and thus, I returned to my love of teaching joining the team at a large, international professional pilot training center in Savannah as a Pilot Instructor. In Jan 2025, I completed the PIC initial type rating in the Gulfstream G-280 (super mid-size jet) and now I teach simulator and ground school for other pilots seeking the same rating, completing recurrent training, or seeking specialized training programs.
