Hi, my name is Brad. I have been married for 27 years to my wonderful wife Mary, and I am the father of three fantastic children. I have been providing professional flight training from Private Pilot to Certified Flight Instructor since 2008. My love for teaching began in 1995 when I started teaching in emergency medical services.  As a  member of the Federal Aviation Administration safety team in Michigan and a gold seal instructor, my top priority is safety during training, and making sure each customer enjoys their experience to the fullest.

My love for aviation began in 2000 when I took my first flight at the Greenville Airport. I achieved my Associate’s Degree in Professional Pilot Technology from Baker College in 2008. Currently Clear2Aviate is  operating at the Ionia county airport. Clear2Aviate specializes in initial private pilot,  10-day Instrument ratings, Complex, Advanced Avionics training, Commercial, and Certified Flight Instructor ratings.
