They say the air isn’t what hurts… it’s the ground. I’ve spent 40 years trying to stay away from it, and on April 8th, I’m finally sharing how I do it.

Whether you know me as “The Flying Realtor,” the “Paddling Guy” from Columbia River Paddle, or just that guy hanging from a parachute over Mt. Swansea, come join me and Randy Hood for an evening of aerial art and some very honest advice on staying at “Peak Altitude.”

What’s on the flight plan?

  • 40 Years in the Air: A visual gallery of the Columbia Valley and the Alps from 10,000 feet (and the stories behind the lens).
  • The X-Alps Factor: What it’s really like to race across Europe with a young family in tow. No excuses, just perspective.
  • Internal Avionics: Randy Hood and I will dive into the BEMER technology I use for recovery and microcirculation. It’s the secret to keeping my engine running—and it’s now a game-changer for local horses and dogs, too.

Check the flyer attached below for all the details. I’m looking forward to seeing you there and helping your own dreams take flight!
