Welcome New Members

I first got interested in aircraft when I was about 4 years old when my father would take me to the airport. I currently am not flying, but I flew a Cessna 182 for the past 15 years, along with anything else I could get my hands on. I have a private single engine land ticket that I got back in 1976.

I was a member of the Boulder, Colorado EAA chapter and was one of their technical counselors. I retired from Northrup Grumman at the end of 2021 and worked on SBIRS (space based infrared systems).

My wife and I moved to Sequim at the end of 2021, moving from Golden Colorado. We are now both retired and enjoy meeting new people and making friends here in the PNW. I am an avid model builder, photographer and like doing things outdoors.

When asked what is an unusual experience I’ve had as an aviator, It is hard to pick one, but I have landed at Leadville, the highest airport in North America, as well as flown into many other high-altitude airports.
