I enjoy almost all types of music, except "Rap" and "Roller Disco" (just kidding about the "Roller Disco"). In order of preference I like country, western, bluegrass, blues, jazz (both the more contemporary version and the classical style), classic rock (including "surfing" music) and many classical selections.

My other interests are varied. Because of the needs of my career(s), I tend to read a lot of technical material in order to keep current or to comply with various Continuing Education requirements. I am an on-going student in the "art" of Leadership and Economics and invest much personal time in study in these areas. I do occasionally read or listen to books on tape or CD for pleasure. These are usually books and articles about leadership, biographies of individuals, studies of various companies or corporations and writings or audios from motivational speakers. My favorite fiction book is Ayn Rand's "Atlas Shrugged".

Comedy, Action and Adventure.

Aviation Business & Flight Operations Consultant and Instructor Pilot. Primarily I provide Insurer Approved initial and recurrent training programs for certification in about twenty-five makes and models of airplanes. I am approved by all of the major aviation insurers operating in North America.

I am an avid cyclist on an almost daily basis (except when scheduled to fly). In the Spring of 2007, I began running and swimming again because I started training with a triathlon team in San Diego with the intention of competing in tri events. In addition, I also enjoy rowing (kayak, canoe and shell) and surfing. I also have a background in martial arts (Okinawa te karate) and gymnastics. I like to hike too but am usually limited to a few local, light trails due to time constraints and because I prefer more grueling and competitive fitness pursuits.
