My flying journey started in high school, earning my private pilot certificate in 2004. From there, I earned my Airframe & Powerplant (A&P) license from
Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University and then worked as an aircraft mechanic for the MetLife Airship, Air Wisconsin & American Airlines.
In 2008, I enlisted in the United States Air Force and became a crew chief on the Lockheed C-130 Hercules. After my service in the Air Force, I used my GI Bill to earn a college degree and to finish my pilot ratings. I was a flight instructor in Charlotte, NC before relocating to Sturgeon Bay, WI where my wife & I started Perry Air!
I earned my private pilot certificate in 1991 out of Boeing Field in Seattle, WA. In 1994, I earned my instrument, commercial, and CFI. I worked as a CFI for many years and also gained some flight time as ”skydiver driver". Years later, I bought a house on an airport (Norman Grier Field) and bought a Cessna 150 that I flew from our backyard! In 2018, I relocated to Wisconsin. I met Kevin Perry in the summer of 2021. I then began flying again after a four year break. My total flight time is just over 2,800 hours with about 2,400 as a flight instructor. I've flown about 31 different planes in that time!
