This site exists because of one man.
Pilot Career Solutions™ is built by an active legacy airline captain — but every honest number, every hard-won lesson, every late-night decision to tell the truth instead of selling the dream traces back to the pilot who taught me first. This page is to honor him.
Dad, you taught me everything I know about aviation. From the first ground lessons of the four principles of flight with your airliner model at the kitchen table, to buying that Piper Archer for me to learn in — you gave me the knowledge, the skills, and the grit to become what I am today.
I'll never forget flying my very first instrument approach — an ILS into KLEX, Lexington, Kentucky, in actual instrument conditions. We were in the Piper Archer, and you let me fly. What patience you had. That's a fond memory we'll continue to share together. Thanks, Dad.
Every golf trip — Scotland, Florida, wherever we go next — is one I refuse to take for granted. You know exactly when to call me up and say "let's go play." I plan to take many, many more.
And Ma — of course. None of this happens without her. Love you, Ma.
To anyone reading this who isn't us: this site is honest because the man who raised me wouldn't have it any other way. If something here helps you make a smart decision about your career, thank him. I'm just writing it down.
