Tom taught me how to fly! I trained with him to get my Private Pilot License and came back to him to start my Instrument Rating. I got lucky with Tom. He doesn’t berate you when you screw up. He’ll basically let you make mistakes (as long as they’re recoverable) and you can bet you’ll learn from that experience. His skills are phenomenal, so there’s no worry that you can screw anything up. He’s also very focused on fundamentals and his sayings will forever be drilled in my head. I’ve had a lot of fun training and some great experiences flying!
