Background
Advanced Helicopter Pilot Training – Worldwide Expertise
Throughout my career, I’ve operated in firefighting, longline, EMS, SAR, and international missions. I understand the demands of real operational flying - and that experience shapes every course I teach.
I hold 17 helicopter type ratings, including the Bell 212, AS350, MBB BO105, SK61, and CH47. My training is trusted by civilian operators, government agencies, and military personnel worldwide.
