About Me:: As an Aviation Consultant and licensed multi-engine pilot, I have over 20 years of teaching experience in the Aircraft, Automotive and Marine industry. I am a seasoned aviation professional and businessperson, owning a business, Detailing Aircraft and Automotive in the local Dallas/Ft. Worth area. In addition I oversee the training efforts as Director of Training and Chief Instructor with The Leading Edge Institute.

I designed the instructional curriculum and the classes needed for the Aircraft and Automotive Detailing Certification Program. My philosophy is “safety first and foremost” in the instructional program. I teach the safe and correct procedures to detailing jet, piston and turbine aircraft.

I began my teaching career in the computer industry as a hardware/software instructor and advanced to the V.P. of Sales and Marketing of a ‘Fortune 500’ Computer Company. After acquiring my multi-engine rating I became heavily involved in the Chemical and Aviation Industries; and realizing there was a definite need for proper education and training in the Aviation Cosmetic Detailing Field, I formed Leading Edge Institute in 1995.

In addition I represent Arrow Magnolia as a Chemical Sales Consultant.
