In 1999 time was finally right for Andy Lee to fulfill a life-long dream to learn to fly. While an accountant and human resource manager with Price Waterhouse on the east coast during the 1980's or as a commercial real estate agent with Joe Hilton and Associates or as owner of Robert J. Young Printing, Inc. in Nashville during the 1990's, Andy thought about the fun and freedom of flying. Yes, he had taken hot-air balloon rides, helicopter rides, glider rides, small plane rides and had even parachuted over the years, but Andy wanted to be the pilot and commander of the plane, not just a passenger. So Andy learned to fly.
Andy's career goal is to be the best certified flight instructor possible. He is not in flight training just to rack up hours to become a commercial airline pilot. That means his priority is to be available for his students and do whatever it takes to train them to be the best, safest, and the most qualified pilots. Andy enjoys living in Nashville, is raising his family here and fully expects to be a certified flight instructor for the long term.
