I was born and raised in San Diego, California.  In 1985 I moved to Mira Mesa, a suburb here in San Diego.  I'm divorced with 3 kids: Jarrod - 26, Kyle - 18, and Kate - 17.  Click the Kid's Pages button to the left to see their web pages.

I am a private pilot, certificated Airframe and Powerplant Technician with Inspection Authorization, and an avid aviation enthusiast. I own a couple of planes including this 1947 Stinson Voyager which is currently undergoing restoration  Stinson isn't in business anymore, but they had a long history of designing and manufacturing high-quality long-lasting aircraft both for civilian and military uses. Click on the picture to see a desert landing.

Here's the Luscombe that my Dad and I owned in the 70's.  It's the only photo I have of it after my collection was stolen in 95.  We sold the plane (huge mistake) to a good friend of mine right after I got married.  He later traded it to a local guy for a different plane.  That guy crashed it after apparently have a medical problem while flying--turns out he had a history of medical issues and was not supposed to be flying.  They're both gone now.

Here's Dad and I sitting on the porch in Linda Vista. in the 50s.  Aviation has always been part of my life.

Here we are camping in the High Desert north of Barstow, California.  We landed on the Dry Coyote Lake and made camp for the night.

Our dog Sandi sitting on my motorcycle.  Haven't figured out how to train her to ride yet.
