Personal Interests
I was born and raised in Connecticut, moved with my family to Idaho, and served a two-year church mission in southern Utah after graduating high school. In 2020 when COVID shut the world down, I decided to pursue my childhood dream of flying. I moved to Arizona that summer and have been in the Phoenix valley ever since. When I'm not flying, I enjoy playing the piano and drums, playing basketball, and spending time with my beautiful wife.
