Welcome to Brazen Careerist!

About Me

I'm a flight instructor and the owner and author of MySkyMom.com, a website providing aviation news and flight training materials as well as an ever popular "Dear Abby" style question and answer column for pilots and student pilots. I'm currently hard at work behind the scenes to add more content and greater functionality to the site, which should evolve into a comprehensive resource for aviation education and scholarships. Look for exciting new features to come online in the next few months! My company and I are enthusiastically on the lookout for partnerships with like minded individuals and organizations who make aviation and aerospace education a top priority and are finding creative ways to open the hanger doors to those who want to come fly with us.

Remember, "The only stupid question is the one you didn't ask."And please, don't hesitate to contact me with any questions you may have or suggestions regarding ways in which we might work together in educating pilots and non pilots alike and providing the opportunity for a few more to take to the skies. Fly safe, fly smart, fly happy!
