I currently fly as a Captain for one of the world's largest airlines. I was raised in Northern California and still make my home there with Fran, our teenage son Robbie, and our newest addition Cassidy.

In 1983 I earned a Bachelor of Science Degree in Aeronautics from the Engineering Department at San Jose State University and have flown professionally for over 25 years. I have logged more than 15,000 hours of flight time since becoming a pilot. I hold many pilot ratings and licenses including Airline Transport Pilot, Flight Engineer, Advanced Flight Instructor and Ground Instructor Certificates. I also possess an Airframe & Power Plant Mechanic License. I enjoy flying everything from little ultralights up to Boeing jumbo jets.

A couple of years ago I created this online course to teach people to feel confident about flying. Thousands have been through my course and have provided valuable feedback. I use this feedback to update the course to address the most common concerns of fearful flyers. I also draw on my own experiences observing and talking with nervous passengers. My Fear of Flying Help Course has helped many people feel better about flying.

I am NOT a licensed therapist or counselor. If you have a serious underlying problem in your life that may be a contributing factor in your fear of flying, I ask that you seek professional help.
