Tom began flight training after college.  While serving as a navigator and instructor navigator in the Air Force on KC-135 inflight refueling aircraft, he continued flying general aviation aircraft.  After military service, he added certificates and ratings and began giving flight instruction.

He has owned and flown a large number of general aviation aircraft types and is now devoting full time to flight instruction after a career in the computer industry.  Current in many aircraft and avionics systems, Tom can provide both ground and flight instruction, check out flights, flight reviews and instrument proficiency checks.

Each student is an individual and Tom especially enjoys helping each one to achieve his/her flying goals.

Tom is a member of EAA, AOPA, and the Society of Aviation & Flight Educators.  He is an active member of Angel Flight, an organization providing no cost general aviation transportation for medical patients to and from their treatment facilities.
