Certified Flight Instructors:                                                       


Bill has spent his life as a Professional Engineer, but has always also wanted to fly. As early as age two (2) Bill can be seen in the old Boston based Record Evening American newspaper (06/25/51) holding an airplane and talking, yes talking, about flying. So it is safe to say that flying has been a lifelong passion at least. He holds Commercial Pilot Certificate, Airplane Instrument Rating and is a Certified Flight Instructor. He loves teaching and plans to fly until he can't fly any longer.
