Shad has enjoyed flying and teaching flying for the past 18 years. He grew up in the Elko area and lives in Spring Creek with his wife and four children. He completed a degree in aviation at Bob Jones University in South Carolina and has since been privileged to have flown all over North America, including Alaska and Canada.
Shad invites you to "see the world from a different perspective - from the air."
