Greatest Ballooning Experience: The greatest ballooning experience for me was flying in Ashland in 1992 when it was just a one flight Saturday evening rally. It was my first one and it was a thrill!

When did you start flying? I started flying in 1991

Outstanding Achievements: Winning the 2000 BFA Longjump Challenge

How long have you flown Ashland? I’ve been flying Ashland since July 4, 1992, when it was just a single Saturday night flight.

How did you name your balloon? I named my first balloon Magic Carpet because it was the magic carpet that I always dreamed of owning when I was a child. This is the second Magic Carpet balloon and it features custom artwork of a boy riding on a magic carpet.
