I started flying in England over 20 years ago and received my Private Pilot License before I'd taken my first driving lesson. I now hold FAA Flight Instructor (Airplane Single and Multi Engine, Instrument), Commercial Pilot (Airplane Single Engine Land and Sea, Multi Engine Land, Instrument) and Remote Pilot (sUAS) certificates and have built up over two thousand hours of flying experience in more than 100 different airplane types along the way.
I'm lucky to be able to enjoy a wide variety of flying, from IFR in high performance twins to seaplanes to aerobatics in experimental taildraggers. Every flight and every airplane offers an opportunity to learn something new - one of many aspects of aviation I find so alluring and strive to share with students.
When not in the air I work on aerospace projects at Google X. I studied at Cambridge and Stanford Universities where I received graduate degrees in Applied Physics and Aeronautical Engineering.
