I am very upsetting to people: I am very pro First AND Second Amendment. I am a vegan, but I respect hunters. I am a full-throated supporter of LGBTQ rights, gay marriage, and legalization of marijuana; but -completely- against abortion, and think every American should own any gun they want...

When I was a young whipper-snapper of 33 years of age, I started my quest in aviation. My first lesson was days before 9/11. Now, today I received my coveted AOPA 10-year pin. Seems like just yesterday that I started. It's been a very good ride.
