Biography:
I started flying in France in a Robin DR400 at 15. I received my private license at
the age of 18 in a C-152. I have a background in para gliding
and rock climbing as well. I guess you can see which one of the two stuck.
I moved to the United States in 1996 and in March of 2005 I started a flight school called ExcelAvia, you may have heard of it.


Teaching style:
My teaching style is one that mixes real world every day common sense with the desire to emphasize safety and efficiency in aircraft operations. I take pride in my students ability to handle which ever situation mother nature offers them. Also as the flight school operator, I like to highlight that airplanes will treat you as you treat them, so handle them with care.
