My flying career came to a crashing halt after being diagnosed with a major mental illness, manic depression.
The climax of my professional flying took place in Alaska flying a turbine-powered aircraft.
The early days flying professionally were truly a dream come true, and the lessons learned could never come from a textbook.

Someone paying me to fly their airplane was a feeling I will never forget.
I was making money flying airplanes-not much, but to me that was secondary.
With all the twists and turns in life and all that goes with it, I secured my first professional flying job at age twenty-five.
This was the beginning of my love affair with flying.
It all worked out, and a month after my sixteenth birthday, I soloed my first airplane.

Using all the skills learned from sports, school, and jobs, I started flying lessons at age fifteen.
