The thing I am most proud of is to say, "I am a pilot!"

The first time I tried to get my Private in 1980, I quit after 3 lessons because of bad instruction, The 2nd time I quit after a bad solo experience. I tired again in 1984. With the support of my new pilot husband and a patient instructor I passed my Private Pilot check ride in July 1985, one month after we bought our first airplane.

I now hold a Multi-engine ATP, Commercial SEL and SES license and passed my CFI in Feb 2001 to which I have added CFII and MEI certificates.

I have over 4500 hrs total time including 2800 hours of instruction. I have extensive mountain flying experience throughout the Rocky Mountain West including two trips to Alaska.

I have owned a Cherokee 235, Turbo Saratoga RG and a share in a Seneca III.  I am a member of the Steamboat Springs Flying Club.

I currently instruct in Delta, Montrose and Steamboat Springs.

I also earned my Remote Pilot License fall of 2018. I can teach drone pilots to pass the FAA written exam.
