I earned my degree from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, where I developed a deep appreciation for the critical role that safety, professionalism, and sound decision-making play in successful flight operations. During my academic and flight training, I gained extensive knowledge of aircraft systems, instrument procedures, Jeppesen charting, risk management, and aviation safety practices. I currently hold a Commercial Pilot Certificate with Multi-Engine and Instrument Rating and have successfully completed the ATP Written Examination.

In addition to my formal training, I have accumulated over two years of professional banner-towing experience with multiple operators, providing me with valuable real-world flight experience in dynamic and demanding environments. Most recently, I have served as Chief Pilot for Gulf Coast Air Signs, LLC, where I have been responsible for training and mentoring new banner pilots, overseeing adherence to safety procedures, conducting operational evaluations, and helping foster a strong safety culture. My role has also included ferrying newly acquired aircraft, aircraft maintenance flights, and conducting remote banner operations throughout the region, requiring adaptability, sound judgment, and a high degree of operational responsibility.

These experiences have strengthened my leadership abilities, sharpened my decision-making skills, and reinforced my commitment to safe, efficient, and professional flight operations. I take pride in maintaining high standards, working effectively within a team, and continuously striving for excellence both in the cockpit and on the ground.
