I am semi-retired. One of my financial advisors told me that I am a “hybrid retiree,” a person still working on their own terms whenever they want.\u00a0 My late wife and I created our publishing company in 2007 and the house is now approaching 100 titles in our catalog. Please visit BluewaterPress LLC<\/a> to peruse the books currently featured.<\/p>\n

I have somewhere north of 12,000 flight hours; about 1,500 hours flying attack jets in the Navy; 6,000 hours as a flight instructor and check airman; and about 2,000 in the best of all airplanes – taildraggers!<\/p>\n

Obviously, I am big on books and teaching flight. I now own and operate a flying company, Av Ed Consulting LLC, which I use primarily to teach pilots how to fly taildraggers. For more information, please visit https:\/\/tailwheelcfi.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

You can find some of my favorite aviation textbooks here<\/a>. For reading about flight and flying, check out this page<\/a>.<\/p>\n
