My passion for aviation started from a young age. Following a trial lesson in a PA28 aircraft that was for my father, I was invited by the instructor to join the flight. Once I saw the view and what was involved, I was lucky enough to start flight training at age 14. Some years later I am now a First Officer for a UK airline flying out of London Stansted Airport on the Airbus 320 and 321.
I have previously supported flight training companies in their courses together with advice to trainees on the best way to enhance their skills and current industry advice.
I am very privileged to be supporting Skills Sphere VR on their endeavour to enhance flight training for future pilots.

I’d always had a fascination with anything that flies, and learned to fly gliders, from twelve years old, before moving onto powered aeroplanes at age sixteen.
My flying remained ‘for fun’ while working for a number of media companies, specialising in video then large screen
displays and event technical production.
I meanwhile completed a Commercial Pilots Licence, with the associated ratings and began instructing, when I wasn’t away working abroad.
This soon became my full-time career, becoming, eventually, Chief Flying Instructor at a number of different
flight schools.
Currently, I continue to Instruct, and Examine pilots, and am a Director of an Aviation Training company.
I have a keen interest in new and effective training methods, and the technology that can make it happen.
