Here's Jeff's Bio:

In 1998 I saw a hang glider for sale in a local classifieds publication in Bellingham, Washington. the next day I picked up the double surface WW sport and stashed it in my best friends garage for fear of getting divorced. It looked nothing like the regallos I had seen as a kid and I was in awe of her. By luck I found an instructor locally who thought I could learn on it and soon a new pilot was born.

A few years later I attended my first HG Instructor certification class driven by my love for the sport and a desire to get new pilots involved. Through the years I have learned as much from my students as they have from me and I continue to enjoy teaching. My school is a simple operation focusing on the hands on approach using a combination of training hill,scooter towing, and boat towing. It feels great knowing that I represent a company like Wills Wing and appreciate their support for the flying community.





These days I enjoy taking my 10 year old daughter tandem when I can talk her into it and try to fly XC when ever possible. Most of the time I fly my T2 154 and some days a falcon 2 tandem. I feel so fortunate to be in an area with so many places to fly and the possibilities of many more. I love working to open new sites and continue to help build a new community of pilots that make flying up here so special. You can learn more about my instructional program and see some of our beautiful sites by visiting my website at NWHG.net





Thanks Jeff.
