Born in Sacramento, California, Arthur grew up in Honolulu, Hawaii. After getting his license in Long Beach, CA he worked seasonally in Alaska, eventually becoming a floatplane instructor and helping pilots from all over the country get their ASES. He is thrilled to share the joys of aviation with his students whether it’s visiting a new island in Hawaii or splashing in an alpine lake in the Alaska range! In his spare time he is an avid outdoor enthusiast and you can catch him backpacking, surfing or gardening.
