Ever since I could talk I have had a passion for aviation and aerospace. Now being older that is no longer a dream but a reality and a privilege to be a part of. I remember when I got my first flight simulator and controls at the age of seven. I took this and ran with it putting everything I could into making the simulator more realistic in terms of visuals and operations. Then almost a decade later I got an opportunity to go on a discovery flight. That flight gave me the conviction I needed, I would endeavor to become a pilot. This brought me to the acclaimed University of North Dakota where I was able to channel my passion and achieve my dreams. Their resources and depth of training were exactly what I needed and I am grateful for the experiences I have had so far. I finished my time in North Dakota with the Fargo Jet Center and two acclaimed DPEs and they were instrumental to helping me refine my knowledge and skills all around the sphere of aviation.I now work for Galvin Flying at Boeing Field in Seattle Washington. I consistently bring my students into the enjoyment of aviation from the amazing views to the fulfilling adventures of flying. I strive to show them that even though it might be a job for them in the future, flying is always something that can always be enjoyable and inspiring.This is only the beginning and I cannot wait to continue to share the passion and enjoyment of aviation that I have to others.
