After having spent nearly 19 years in the Oil and Gas Industry, I’m excited to pursue a childhood dream to fly professionally. I recently completed ATP’s Professional Pilot Training program in accelerated fashion and am currently in the Multi-Engine Instructor addition phase of training. In pursuit of excellence and skill enhancement, the next stages of my training will include single engine sea plane rating and tailwheel endorsement. After completion of these additional endorsements and ratings and accruing approximately 275 hours total time, I will continue to pursue my dream and build time while seeking employment with a company that I can commit my flying career to.
