Personal Interests
I currently work as a seaplane pilot flying scenic tours in the De Havilland Beaver and Beech 18 on floats over Lake Coeur d’Alene, while also serving as Second-in-Command on the Citation VII for Avista Utilities. Operating in these dynamic environments has strengthened my adaptability, situational awareness, and confidence in both turbine and multi-engine aircraft. Every flight presents an opportunity to connect with people, deliver a high level of professionalism, and continue growing as a pilot. By the age of 19, I’ve earned every airplane rating and flight instructor certificate available, a journey built on persistence, self-motivation, and a deep passion for aviation. While I’ve flown in many different environments, float flying is where I feel most at home. I’m dedicated to safety, professionalism, and creating meaningful experiences for both passengers and students.
