Summary
I am a very motivated and determined individual that takes pride in serving others well. While the goal has always been to fly full time over the course of my career, circumstance has afforded me the opportunity to grow and experience multiple sides of aviation. I am very thankful for this as it has caused me to develop not only as pilot but also has helped me to become keen to what a teams’ overall objectives are. That is a value that I hope to bring to the company where I can spend the rest of my career.
