With a background in Mechanical Design, computers, programming and electronics, I discovered the passion for aviation in January of 2021 after building my first full-cockpit flight simulator. Since then, I have founded the startup FTDfanatic Flight Simulation Systems to bring realistic and affordable flight training devices and presenting informational seminars for pilots, enthusiasts, organizations and businesses.
