About this user

I was raised in a small village in New Brunswick. As a young child i saw a model airplane at an auction. I had never even seen a real airplane. It inspired me to learn to fly. The dream never left me.
At the age of fifteen, while ice fishing on Lake Scugog with my father, i saw Hang Gliders for the first time high above. "Dad look!" I jumped in our old pickup truck and raced down the frozen lake seeking a wonderful new adventure.

After begging OBE (Old Bald Eagle) for a tandem flight with a promise to pay (later); we blasted of the back of a dodge ram truck modified as a hang glider payout-winch tow vehicle. I was hooked!

Years passed. That fifteen year old became twenty-something. I sought out OBE, paid for the tandem and signed up for a three day intensive course. That was 1995!
Over the years Michael Robertson (OBE) has taught me much about flying. I've learned how to thermal soar, cliff launch, boat tow, hydraulic winch tow, step tow and more.
I earned a Tandem Instructor Certification in '04 which has allowed me to share the joy of silent flight with many others. From step and aero towing in Ontario to cliff launching the Atlantic Coast in the Maritimes; Hang Gliding has fulfilled the dream.

Come fly! Soar like Eagles and Be Free!
