I got my start in RC with sailplanes, learning how to soar off the coast of California. I made a few trips to fly at the famous Torrey Pines, where model planes soar alongside seagulls, full scale sailplanes and hang gliders.
I earned my wings as a Naval Flight Officer, hence the "NFO." My training included flights in the T-34C Mentor, the TA-4J Skyhawk, the T-2 Buckeye, the Cessna Citation, and the S-3 Viking. I worked on a private pilot's license while in the Navy, but decided not to pursue that after completing my first solo cross country flight.
I competed in the International Miniature Aerobatic Club, winning the Regional Championship in three different classes, with an electric plane. I also placed in a couple Pattern contests flying an old pattern ship converted from glow fuel to electric.
