Accomplishments

I have always been a hard worker since my days as a 11 year old paperboy, I have worked in restaurants, various construction and misc odd jobs. Owned a restaurant/bar for 3 years, I was a volunteer firefighter from 1992 to 1995. I have worked for a commercial real estate development firm in China and Hawaii. After deciding to pursue my passion for aviation in 2000 I have never looked back and loved my career ever since. I feel very grateful to be able to thrive in the airline industry. I have no disciplinary actions or previous issues with any previous airline employers and still in touch with most of my former Chief Pilots, I am in good standing.
