Summary

My passion for flying began at the age of five on my first airline flight to America from Germany. Since then, that interest has grown into a passion. My favorite hobby was using my home flight simulator and I began flying gliders by the age of thirteen. In July of 2020, I started flying SIC on various private jets for Apollo Aviation in Houston, Texas. During the last four years, I have received SIC type-ratings on the B-737, ERJ-170, ERJ-190, CE-500, CE-525, CE-560XL, CE-680, G-200, and HS-125. I currently hold an air transport pilot rating in single-engine and multi-engine aircraft, a CFI rating, and a CFII rating. I have 2,286 total flight hours, 1,601 of which are in turbine-powered aircraft. I recently earned my bachelor’s degree in Aviation Science from Texas A&M University and am excited to continue to advance in this field.
