A 15 minute ride in an old radial engined airplane on Cape Cod on my 16th
birthday back in 1990. I loved every single second of it. A contributing
factor was one of my best friends getting his ticket. With lots of
part-time jobs, I was able to start lessons three years later, and by 20,
was a private pilot.

I had been skydiving for eight years and was tired of just going up and
down. I was 26, single, had the time, had the money, so I did it.


I turned 42 and realized that I had the disposable income available
thanks to my websites, and since the kids were fairly well grown I had
the time.
