Born in the great midwest state of Nebraska, I moved to Seattle at the age of six and the Pacific Northwest has been my base ever since.
I have traveled the world, living on four different continents and, along the way, learning to speak English, French, a little Spanish, a little Italian, and even a touch of Swahili!
As an instrument-rated commercial pilot, I enjoy all sky activities, including aerobatic flying, skydiving, and just cloud watching. I have owned multiple businesses, including a multi-million-dollar medical equipment company, a flight school, a real estate investment company, and a legal retail marijuana store.
