I’m a dedicated aviator with a strong work ethic and a passion for flying like no other. Through balancing multiple jobs, full-time academics, and intensive flight training, I’ve developed discipline, adaptability, and the ability to perform under pressure. My long-term goal is to build a career in professional aviation while eventually creating a Part 135 seaplane operation focused on outdoor adventure flying and customer experiences, giving them memories for years to come.

I’m especially passionate about hands-on aviation, real-world flying, and continuous improvement as a pilot. I value professionalism, leadership, and the responsibility that comes with operating aircraft safely and efficiently. Whether in the cockpit, the classroom, or the workplace, I strive to bring reliability, initiative, and a strong team-oriented mindset to everything I do.

Outside of aviation, I enjoy ethical hunting, nature, mechanical projects, machinery, and learning practical skills that complement my technical mindset as a pilot. I’m motivated by building a meaningful future centered around aviation, family, and hard work.
