While most professional pilots want to fly for the airlines, Marc has always dreamed of being a Barnstormer and giving rides in antique aircraft.  Working his way toward that goal, Marc has spent several summers flying out of small grass strips towing advertising banners up and down beaches as a way to hone his flying skills.
Marc built a two-seat, Volkswagen powered airplane from a kit (much like a model airplane) and upon completion, flew it from Key West, FL to California and back.  Building an airplane helped Marc with earning his Airframe and Powerplant Certification. 
Marc enjoys sharing his passion for flying with others and has organized several Young Eagle’s Rallies where pilots volunteer their aircraft and give kids ages 8-17 free airplane rides.
Working for History Flight is the fulfillment of Marc’s dream to become a Barnstormer.
