Summary

Qualified Air Tractor Pilot with extensive experience in aerial application of liquids and dry products to row crops as well as forestry. Hardworking and diligent professional with exceptional eye for detail and extensive understanding of flight safety and operational standards.

Dedicated Police Officer skilled at dealing with general public and monitoring high-stress situations. Expert at handling issues related to emotionally disturbed persons, domestic violence and child abuse victims. Ambitious and hardworking with the ability to carry these skills forward to any area of life. My time as an officer and supervisor in a public safety environment garners me the added experience in attention to detail in safety, records keeping, solving problems quickly, personal negotiations and the importance of ethical work standards.


During my career as a law enforcement officer, I also developed a deep understanding of the critical importance of adhering to policy and procedure to ensure both safety and operational effectiveness. This experience has equipped me with the ability to quickly learn, interpret, and apply complex regulations, ensuring compliance and fostering a structured, secure environment. My background instilled in me the discipline and attention to detail necessary to maintain high standards, manage risk, and support efficient operations.


I have reached a point in my law enforcement career where I wish to retire and begin a full time career as a pilot once more.
