I have flown CH47 Chinooks, UH60 Blackhawks, C-12s, Citation II, V and X Jets, Airbus 330, Airbus 321/320 and I am a current Airline Captain. I hold a USCG Masters 1600/3000 ITC Certificate of Competence and I am a former Superyacht Captain having traveled all over the world. I flew in the military and then was a pilot and US Federal Agent for the US Department of Treasury. I operated in drug interdiction missions during the height of the Colombian drug wars in the 1990s. I am now President of Bluewater Management and Training USA. I have lived all of my dreams and continue to appreciate how blessed I am to live this current dream.
