About Me:

Hello!

I got involved in ballooning five years ago, however, I've been flying professionally for over 20 years (gliders,props, jets). Ballooning has brought a new dimension to my flying background and I'm having a blast! Floating above the earth in a hot air balloon is simply awsome!

Yes, we fly down here between the ocean and swamp!! The flying area is very challenging...a la Del Mar, CA. Weather's not the greatest :(

In the short time that I've been ballooning I've had the pleasure of meeting great people. I've attended several rallies in the US , Canada and also had the opportunity to fly in Europe in 2006 for a ride operator. I've also flown for large ride operators in California and New Mexico. It's fun to be a "rent-a-pilot" and fly in cool places. Have a cool place for me to fly? Let's do it! I'll send you my resume :))

I've flown Balloon Works, HEAD, Cameron, Ultramagic, Kubicek, and Lindstrand models ranging in size from a 77K to 300K cu. ft. I have 700 hours in balloons and a lot of hours in airplanes (12,000).

I'm a member of the Balloon Federation of America (BFA) and the British Balloon and Airship Club (BBAC).

Ever in South Florida give me a a call...and let's go ballooning or at least share stories :)

Morning glory over the Miami Redlands!

You are right nuts are coming up soon, next week going for a short trip to Levi for the Alpin ski wourld cup, after that nuts for everybody. Season was okay, companies not flying at the moment but giftcards running the same. How is it in Florida, flying strong? How is your lovely daughter and the snake? greetings to Michell

Cheers
