I am a commercial pilot currently living in the San Francisco Bay Area. I grew up in the Bay Area, and moved to Reno Nevada for school. During school I worked full time and upon graduating in 2017, I returned to the Bay Area to join my father in a startup company. Together, over the course of 6 years, grew the company from a small business we were running out of a shop in his backyard, into a multi-million dollar company in Concord California with 0ver 20 employees. Approximately in early 2023, we sold the company to our largest client, who hired me on to continue to run operations, which I have continued to through today.

The acquisition of the business allowed me to pursue my dream of becoming a commercial pilot, and I began flight training in 2024 out of Concord, CA with PSA. I acquired my PPL in 2025 and have through their Part 141 program, and obtained my IR and CPL earlier this year under Part 61 instruction. In late 2024, I purchased a 1962 Piper Cherokee (PA28) that I trained for my CPL in and have been managing while I continue to accumulate hours. I am now working on obtaining my MEI and will continue to grow my knowledge and proficiency as a pilot every chance I get. I balance this all while continuing to work full time as a VP of Operations.

My aspirations for my aviation career are fairly open ended; I am seeking a position that will allow me to continue to learn with a company who I can contribute to with my operations and team management acumen. I am willing to relocate for the right opportunity.
