The BC General Aviation Association is a diverse community of aviators and other interesting people for whom aviation is an important part of their lives. The BCGA Featured Members Page is a way for us to get to know the individuals that make our community what it is. The featured members page is being launched on January 15th and will start with 5-10 member profiles. After the initial launch we will endeavor to feature a different member every week.

Why did you start flying?
I was born and raised around airplanes. I took my first flight at 8 months of age, and took the controls of my Dad’s Mooney at the time when I was 5. As long as I can remember I’ve been wanting to fly. My Dad always had fast airplanes growing up, Mooney M20F, Mooney 305 Rocket, and now a Lancair IV-P. If I did not have aviation in my life, I wouldn’t be the happy person I am today.

Cessna 172, Cessna 152, and Cessna 180 on floats

Flying is a very special thing we get to do, but knowledge about flying is key to keeping ourselves safe. Don’t push you’re limits and know what you’re limits are because that will in return keep all of us fellow aviators safe.
