About Steve

I have been fascinated by aviation for as long as I can remember. I started working in Silicon Valley as a software engineer and then moved into senior management. During this time I became a pilot, eventually earning my instrument, multi-engine and commercial ratings. 

A few years ago, I decided to switch career paths and become a flight instructor. I find that my engineering experience is complementary to flight instruction as both require the ability to explain complex topics in simple to understand terms. I am designated as an FAA Gold Seal Instructor in recognition of my record of successful student check rides.

My attitude about flying is that it should be safe and fun. I bring this approach to flight training as well as my personal flying.
