Here are a few pictures when I had a twinkle in my eye for helicopters, as you can see at the tender age of 2 I had it in my blood already.
In the 3rd picture is Dave Botita. He is the guy that offered to go thru the set up of my first helicopter and spend the time to teach me the correct way. I thank Dave
and all others that started me in the right direction. There is one person that never gets the recognition that is needed and that is the owner of POWERMASTER FUELS.
That’s him 2nd picture top row. Mr.Wendell Hamond has given me the opportunity to fly gallon after gallon of fuel, which is the single most reason I am at the level I am today.
Thank you Wendell and Shirley.

This is my little brother Danny. He started to learn to hover at the age of 10. He is really getting pretty good now. He is trying to learn to kaos now, and in the far right picture, he was doing it only because the tail rotor shaft sheared. Now he has to start all over because that one is toast.
