Farming has always been a part of me but Aviation is my passion and this is why I am here today.
I grew up on a farm and worked daily on our family owned farm. Becoming a pilot has always been a dream but like all of us there is always some challenges that we are facing, for me, a dissipating economy of my home country South Africa being the biggest one. I had to change my destiny and decided to move to the United States with my wife. Here we are 8years later chasing our dreams.
