Today, he flies the TBM to a variety of locations within the contiguous United States. Most often these flights are with Moran as the sole occupant, occasionally a few passengers. And just as he sought to grow as a leader in his previous roles, he is consistently working to better himself as a pilot.

They work to understand its quirks, limitations, and potential to reach their desired outcome, guiding it down a mutually beneficial path of success.
