David resides in Bakersfield and has been flying since 1984. He majored in economics at Bakersfield College, and plans to continue his studies in aviation science. David left a long career in the petroleum industry to become a full time flight instructor. In his leisure time he enjoys aerobatics, fishing, and training his dogs Max and Baron.

David is our resident Cessna 400 Corvalis TT instructor and went to the Bend, Oregon Cessna Factory for training in November of 2008. As a result of this training, David works closely with the Sales Department with Corvalis sales and is available for transition training.
