About
I was born and raised all over the world.
My dad was an airline pilot and I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to travel everywhere (and I mean everywhere) before I even reached dougle digits.
Traveling instilled in me a passion for cultures, people and adventure as well as catching the flying bug from all that flying!
Education is important so I had to settle down (temporarily) in Denver, CO to become more conventionally schooled in my field of interest. A few years later here I am; successfully completing my Aviation Technology Degree for the Professional Pilot at MSCD while working as a CFI (Certified Flight Instructor) at Mcair Aviation and a Wind Tunnel Instructor at SkyVenture Colorado.
My other passions are skydiving, BASE jumping, skiing, scuba diving, going fast on two wheels and music - specifically Jazz.
Although I could not be happier, I am always on the lookout for another challenge to face head-on.
