Summary
I was born in Naples Italy and I am a Italian, USA citizen. My father is American and mother is Italian. I am fluent in English/Italian languages. I went to an Italian Aeronautical Aviation School for 5 years. Seeing that my father is a Director of Maintenance on 2 SA227 Aircraft I was brought up around aircraft and helicopters. Having the opportunity to work in the environment with my father has really made me want to learn more.
