I was raised up in Massachusetts alongside my two brothers and one sister. Growing up I always knew I was interested in becoming a pilot, but it was not a common practice in my area. It wasn’t until after returning home from active duty that I realized there wasn’t much else in this world I wanted to do over being a pilot. My wife pushed me to pursue the craft. She had grown up in Tennessee and knew many pilots while attending MTSU to become a nurse. Since then, I have never looked back and am grateful every day for where my life has been going.
