After graduating high school, I enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps and served as a combat engineer, where I specialized in route clearance operations. In this capacity, I was responsible for detecting, identifying, and neutralizing explosive hazards to ensure safe passage for personnel and equipment. In this position, I developed solid leadership and risk assessment skills, as well as exception attention to detail and the ability to perform effectively under high-pressure conditions.

Following my military service, I began pursuing my long-standing passion, a career in aviation as a pilot. Once I completed my flight training, I started building valuable flight time as a certificated flight instructor teaching primary flight students under 14 CFR Part 141. I am confident I have the necessary drive to succeed in aviation as a professional pilot and offer many years of dedicated service.
