Personal Interests
ATP-rated pilot and Lead Flight Instructor with a strong focus on safety, leadership, mentorship, and continuous professional development. I enjoy helping others grow in aviation and take pride in creating a positive, professional environment both in and out of the cockpit. For me, aviation is about more than simply reaching a destination-it's about connecting people to family, opportunities, experiences, and moments that can become lifelong memories. I look forward to continuing to grow with an organization where I can contribute as a pilot, teammate, and leader.
