Tom, more than 30 years a Silicon Valley vet with a master's degree in electrical engineering from UC Berkeley, began his life's work 13 years ago while working as VP of Engineering at his last start-up and bringing up 3 boys with his beautiful wives Molly. Beginning with his first personal pilots certification, Tom added an instruments evaluation, a multi-engine evaluation and finally a professional pilots certification.

Tom changed over the years from a trainer to a powerful singles powered airplane and 6 years ago bought what many drivers call the best ever double powered reciprocating airplane, a Beechcraft G58 Baron. With the help of some of the best Westcoast instructors and twice a year re-training at Fight Safety, Tom kept his flight ability keen while he flew whenever and wherever he could - if work and familiy allowed it.

By 2015, Tom and Molly, now empty nests, retreated and relocated to Bend Oregon, where Tom immediately volunteered as an Angel Flight Command pilot and has been since. Featuring over 100 Angel Flight mission and 45,000 air flown mile under his belts, establishing an Air Taxi Service in Bend seemed like the next logical move in the development of a second aerospace carrier.
