Pro-Level Coaching & Refresher Sessions

Personal coaching from a four-time Red Bull X-Alps competitor

Whether you’ve taken a break from flying or want to break through a plateau, personal coaching is the fastest way to move forward. With 40 years of mountain flying, including four Red Bull X-Alps races, I’ll help you build the judgment that keeps pilots flying for decades.

“Know when NOT to go.
Once you know when not to go,
you know when to go — and where to go.”

Customized to Your Goals

Every session is one-on-one with me and built around what you need:

  • The “Rust Remover”: A focused refresher to get you back in the air safely and confidently.
  • Mountain Mastery: Kiting, launch precision and landing approaches for mountain sites.
  • Pick Up Where You Left Off: Coming from another school? We’ll close the gaps and get you ready for your next rating.

Expert Insight: “In the X-Alps, precision and safety aren’t just goals — they’re survival. Whether you’re a newer pilot or a seasoned one, I’ll help you develop the mountain sense that only comes from years in the air.”
