I learned flying in tailwheel planes and love flying with my family on weekend trips.  I am a certified Instrument Flight Instructor teaching out of Palo Alto airport. I am a member of the National Association of Flight Instructors (NAFI).

I do not offer primary flight training, but am accepting instrument students. I will be delighted to discuss your plans for getting that instrument rating you have always wanted.  I typically train one student at a time allowing me to offer complete and individual attention to you.

In addition to well-equpped aircraft with traditional round gauges, technically advanced aircraft (with PFD, MFD, autopilot and GPS navigators) are now widely available in the rental fleets in the SF Bay Area. This availability and an instrument rating gives you an unprecedented opportunity to conduct your cross country trips in less than perfect weather.
