He is passionate about effective flight training.  His flight schools are very successful because they operate on simple principles:

1. Flight training, like every successful business, should be centered on the customer’s needs.
2. The measure of a good flight school is the number of check rides, not the number of customers.
3. As instructors, we teach by what we do as much as by what we say.
4. Our goal is to train people to be pilots, not just to fly an airplane.
