With over 18 years of experience in aviation and a proven track record of safety, leadership, and professionalism, I am confident in my ability to contribute effectively to your flight operations team.   My journey in aviation began while I was serving as a Hospital Corpsman in the U.S. Navy.

Despite the challenges of balancing military duties and family responsibilities, I began the pursuit of my dream of becoming
a pilot, and in 2006, I successfully completed my flight training. Shortly thereafter, I secured my first airline position, and since then, I have continuously developed my skills through various roles, including serving as a management pilot and contract pilot for high- net-worth clients.

In these positions, I not only flew diverse aircraft, but also managed critical aspects of flight operations, such as aircraft maintenance, safety management systems, and pre-purchase inspections and aircraft sales. My dedication to excellence has allowed me to provide seamless and safe operations for clients while consistently upholding the highest standards of the aviation industry.  

I am confident that my experience and passion for aviation would allow me to contribute meaningfully to your team should you need the assistance. I would welcome the opportunity to bring my skills and expertise to your organization and help ensure the continued success of your flight operations.  

I look forward to the opportunity to discuss how my background aligns with your needs.
