I earned a Bachelor of Science in Professional Pilot from the University of Central Missouri and have accumulated the majority of my flight experience in the Cessna 172, along with multi-engine experience in the Beechcraft BE-58 Baron. My background includes aviation safety, risk management, and leadership experience, and I am passionate about helping others learn while continuing to develop my own skills as a professional pilot. I am willing to relocate anywhere in the United States for the right opportunity.
