Our Story
Welcome to the Estate.
Welcome to the four destinations within Palm Haven Estate: The Hangar, The Garage, The Precinct, and The Roastery.
Each destination offers something different - a place to explore true stories, fascinating facts, lessons learned, travel experiences, automotive passion, aviation, law enforcement, specialty coffee, and the occasional laugh. Some posts are informative, some inspiring, and others simply entertaining, but every one is rooted in real-life experience.
My journey began at 18 as the owner of a small automotive upholstery business.
At 25, I began a career in law enforcement, proudly serving with two police departments, where I learned firsthand the importance of integrity, discipline, and serving others.
At 34, I pursued a lifelong dream of becoming a professional pilot. Over the years, I flew for two charter companies and two major airlines, logging thousands of hours throughout the United States, Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean, Central America, and South America.
My career allowed me to fly a wide variety of aircraft, including the Piper, Cessna, Beechcraft Bonanza, Mitsubishi MU-2, ATR 42, Embraer 145, Hawker 800 corporate jet, Airbus A320, and Airbus A321.
Those years in aviation gave me the privilege of experiencing different cultures, meeting incredible people, and discovering places that most travelers never see. Whether flying into major international airports or smaller island destinations, every trip added another story worth telling.
Outside the cockpit, I've always had a passion for automobiles—from classic American muscle cars to modern German performance machines. I've spent countless hours behind the wheel, under the hood, and following the automotive world.
That same passion for craftsmanship eventually led me into specialty coffee, where I discovered that every memorable cup has a story of its own.
Palm Haven Estate brings these lifelong passions together in one place.
Here you'll find behind-the-scenes aviation stories, law enforcement experiences, automotive adventures, coffee discoveries, practical advice, interesting facts, honest opinions, and the occasional laugh.
