About

Private Pilot, Glider Pilot, Glider Instructor, Father of a Helicopter pilot, Son and Grandson of pilots, interested in all things aviation. Day job is Software Engineer/Manager of Software Engineers. Most weekends you will find me trying to figure out how to keep a glider in the air. I've recently started learning how to fly Hang Gliders using the scooter tow method.
