Throughout my entire life, I've always loved airplanes. Growing up, my family and I embarked on journeys around the globe, in various aircraft. As a child, I was captivated by the world of airplanes, often requesting tours from our pilots and attempting to take the controls during flight (an exhilarating experience for a five-year-old who thought he was Anakin Skywalker).

My grandfather served as a significant source of inspiration for gaining my pilot's license, he earned his certificate in early 1975, learning in a Cessna 152 and remained flying to his last day in a Skymaster from 1973 and a 2018 Embraer Phenom 300e, making it to 88 years old. During his life, he flew over 10,000 hours of flight time, all without ever piloting for commercial purposes. He took every opportunity to fly an airplane and go for an adventure.

I began my training in March of 2022, earning my pilots license in April of 2023. The path was difficult, yet rewarding. I've discovered that my passion has become an addiction. I love that aviation gives you freedom, and expands your radius of opportunity.
