While on an adventure to Hawaii he found that he won the Vietnam Lottery. Faced with draft number 29 he elected to enlist in the Air Force. After three years, ten months, two weeks, four days, six hours and some odd minutes in service to his country he moved to Missoula in 1975 to pursue a degree in pre-medical sciences while taking a job as a flight instructor as his "Plan B." The process of acquiring the rest his certifications that would allow him to be a professional pilot, that is, to fly for compensation or hire, provided the grist for A Pilot Turns 360. When the opportunity arose to fly airmail in a twin-engined plane, he made the leap. On the first of April 1977 he drove north for the start of another adventure which was the seed for his book Montana Freightdog. Finding the woman of his dreams and helping to raise three children led him to write Montana Freightdog II. After thirty years of flying professionally, he retired in 2007. He and his wife moved to Panama where they enjoy beach time, meeting new people, playing the piano and writing.view less
