I'm a flight instructor for CAVU Aviation in Neenah and Green Bay, Wisconsin. I'm from Clintonville, 35 miles west of Green Bay.
I attended the University of Dubuque in Dubuque, Iowa from 2000 to 2004. I finished my bachelor of science degree in flight operations in February 2006. I lived in Dubuque from 2000 to 2005.
I love flying and anything to do with it! In the summer of 2002 I was the Everett Weekly intern with the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) in Oshkosh WI. As an intern I worked as an assistant airport manager at Pioneer Airport, which is part of the EAA Museum. I had been volunteering at Pioneer Airport since 1999 before becoming an intern. I'm an EAA Young Eagles pilot and have flown with 20 great kids. As a member of the University of Dubuque's flight team in my freshman and sophomore years, I competed in two NIFA Region V regional competitions (SAFECONs). I served as the team's secretary for the 2001-2002 school year and won medals in the message drop and ground trainer events. I've flown in more than 50 types of aircraft and have helped build three RV-6 kitplanes. My jobs have included working with avionics, aircraft maintenance, and aircraft dispatch, as well as tutoring at my college and working as the news editor for the school newspaper. In 2005 and 2006 I instructed and gave checkrides for the Civil Air Patrol (CAP). In 2006 I served as the webmaster for CAP's Wisconsin Wing. In the summer of 2007, I became involved in the Able Flight organization by learning to fly a light-sport airplane and training two disabled students, one of whom earned his sport pilot certificate in 28 days.
Besides aviation, my other interests include hiking, biking, fishing, camping, canoeing & kayaking, cross-country skiing, and snowmobiling. I also enjoy writing, photography, desktop publishing, and web design.
My short-term goal is to be a great flight instructor, and my long-term goal is to be a corporate pilot. I'm along for the ride and enjoying the view.
