Mechanical Engineering background and currently hold a management position at an engineering and manufacturing company that specializes in drive systems for off-highway and military vehicles. I have been with this company for 15 years and have traveled extensively to Europe and Asia as part of my tenure. I am married with 2 teenage children and live near Vancouver on the west coast of Canada.

I have been involved in modeling for more than thirty years starting with boating and cars. For 10+ years I have been flying fixed wing models with the last 2 years primarily focused on turbine jets. The “technical nature” of turbines along with the supporting systems and more complicated aircraft have kept the hobby exciting and challenging. I have also competed in precision aerobatics and IMAC. Am currently in my final term as President of the WCRCAF which I have held for over 5 years.

My goal for the JPO is to increase exposure of the JPO to Canadian Jet Pilots. More importantly, I plan to provide a link between the MAAC Jet Committee Chairman and the AMA thru this appointment.
