: About Me

I have worked for 12 years with the aviation unit of the Philippine National Police back in the Philippines. I was a graduate of aircraft maintenance engineering and a licensed aircraft mechanic with experience on BN2A-21 Islander, Lancair ES, Cessna 150 (fixed wing) and AS350BA Ecureuil and BO105C Bolkow helicopters. I have a private pilot's license rated on the Cessna 150 which I surrendered to the CAAP (phils) upon my departure for the UK last December 2008. I have written some stories based on my experiences while serving on my tour as a policeman (aircraft mechanic) on flight missions in Luzon and Mindanao. I read science fiction books and was inspired to write owing to Richard Bach's bestsellers A Gift of Wings, Illusions and other books.
