Short bio:	Michael started flying gliders when he was 11 years old. He soloed in an airplane on his grandfather’s farm when he was only 13 years old!

By the time Michael was 18 years old, he had his commercial pilots license and was off to a successful aerobatic career. Michael retired from aerobatic competition in 1998 to join the Northern Lights Aerobatic Team. He stayed with the world famous, award winning team until their retirement in 2000.
