I’m an airline pilot and creator from Indiana. Before the airlines, I was a flight instructor and Assistant Chief Flight Instructor. Now I share what I’ve learned alongside the places I go and the life around the flying. Expect honest answers, a bit of dry humor, and the occasional questionable hotel room.
