Growing up on a Kentucky farm, I developed a strong work ethic, a love for hands-on problem solving, and an early fascination with aviation. Since earning my pilot certificate, I have continued pursuing advanced ratings while building flight experience and balancing work, volunteer service, and a finance degree from the University of Louisville. Whether flying, working on construction projects, or mentoring young aviation enthusiasts through EAA Young Eagles, I enjoy challenges that require discipline, adaptability, and attention to detail. My goal is to combine my passion for aviation, customer service, and lifelong learning into a professional flying career that allows me to connect people and places while continuing to grow as a pilot.

Work Experience

Volunteer Eagle Pilot
Flight Club 502 - July 7, 2025 My aviation journey has been defined by perseverance, discipline, and a lifelong passion for flight. Growing up on a Kentucky farm, I developed a strong work ethic and a willingness to tackle challenges head-on. What began as fascination with aircraft flying overhead evolved into a commitment to becoming a professional pilot. My aviation experience started with the Civil Air Patrol, where I advanced to Cadet Technical Sergeant, participated in aerospace education, and completed pre-solo glider training. As a teenager, I became involved with Flight Club 502, further developing my aviation knowledge while serving on the organization's finance committee. These early experiences taught me leadership, responsibility, and the importance of service within the aviation community. Since earning my pilot certificate, I have accumulated more than 280 flight hours while progressing through advanced ratings, including Commercial Pilot privileges, Instrument Rating, High Performance and Complex endorsements, and Single-Engine Sea certification. Throughout my training, I have gained experience in cross-country operations, instrument procedures, night flying, glass cockpit technology, and seaplane operations. My flight training has required balancing academics, employment, and financial responsibility while remaining committed to safety and professionalism. Beyond the cockpit, I bring qualities that are essential to a successful aviation career. Years of farm work, construction projects, and equipment maintenance have strengthened my mechanical aptitude, problem-solving skills, and attention to detail. My degree in Finance from the University of Louisville further developed my analytical thinking, decision-making abilities, and professionalism. As a Young Eagles volunteer pilot, I enjoy mentoring future aviators and serving as a positive ambassador for aviation. I believe my combination of aviation experience, strong work ethic, leadership, adaptability, and commitment to continuous learning make me an excellent candidate for opportunities within the aviation industry. I approach every challenge with humility, determination, and a desire to learn, recognizing that aviation demands both technical competence and personal character. My goal is not only to build a successful flying career but also to contribute positively to the aviation community and inspire others to pursue their own dreams of flight.
