About Me
Here are a few things to know
I have a a huge passion of aviation, having earned my pilots license at the age of 16, later to become a flight instructor, and after graduating college, a corporate pilot. I also became interested in Radio Control Airplanes at a young age. Being a long-term fan of the hobby, my collection of models is quite extensive: including a wide-range of RC airplanes, EDF jets, helicopters, and multi-rotors.

Grandparenting Your
way
a celebration
of individuality
Being a grandparent is a special privilege, but there's no single "right" way to do it. Just like families come in all shapes and sizes, so can your grandparenting style! Here's to embracing your unique approach:
The Playful Pal: Do you have boundless energy and a love for silly games? Embrace your inner goofball! Roughhousing, building forts, and sharing childhood favorites can create lasting memories with your grandkids.
The Storyteller: Are you a treasure trove of family history and life lessons? Share your wisdom through stories and anecdotes. From silly childhood mishaps to inspiring tales of perseverance, your stories can be a source of comfort and connection.
The Supportive Sage: Maybe your grandkids crave guidance and a listening ear. Offer a safe space for open communication and encouragement. Celebrate their achievements, big or small, and be a source of gentle support during challenges.
The Creative Companion: Do you have a passion for art, music, or nature? Share your hobbies with your grandkids! These shared experiences can spark creativity, build new skills, and foster a deep bond.
The Long-Distance Delights: Geography doesn't have to limit your grandparenting influence! Video calls, care packages, and handwritten letters can all be meaningful ways to stay connected. Plan special visits and cherish the time you have together.
Remember, the best grandparenting style is the one that feels authentic to you. When you connect with your grandkids in a way that resonates with your personality, you create a relationship that's both special and irreplaceable.
