Having always wanted to fly balloons, Cliff found a balloon on the internet and financed the balloon and began taking lessons with a local commercial pilot. Cliff earned his private license in 1998. After realizing it to be an expensive hobby he pursued for his commercial certificate in 1999 and has been flying ever since, helping people create memories that will last a lifetime.
Cliff grew up in Columbia, PA, attended and graduated from The University of Findlay, Ohio. He later found a wonderful woman and proposed to her from his balloon, with the words, "Marry Me Kim?", with 100 bails of hay. Kim is learning to like ballooning by association. Together they have found some wonderful new people in the ballooning community and crew they are happy to call friends. They now make their home in beautiful York, PA, with their two adorable boys, Hunter (9/14/01) and Bryce (7/8/03), both of which have already been in a balloon and have even gotten some burner time. Young pilots in the making.
