I am an Airline Transport Pilot from Hastings, Michigan rated and Captain in the Hawker HS-125 Series aircraft, the Gulfstream G550, Gulfstream G-IV, and the Citation CE-500 Series aircraft. Since my flying career began in 2001, I have logged more than hours in the cockpit throughout the United States, Canada, Mexico, and Europe. I was appointed the role of Safety Manager at Jackson in 2011, and am responsible for maintaining the company’s Safety Management System as well as all aspects of hazard identification, risk management, accident/incident prevention and reporting. I have been involved in the development of our Aircraft Accident/Incident Emergency Response Plan and have also guided our flight department towards International Standards For Business Aircraft Operations (IS-BAO) certification in 2011. We have also successfully earned our IS-BAO Phase 3 Certification in May 2015.
