I learned to fly in a Grumman Cheetah, and since then have flown everything from a backcountry SuperSTOL to an Embraer 135 jet for a scheduled charter service. I have been around airplanes since I was a baby and both my parents are pilots, my brother is an aspiring pilot.

When I’m not working as an examiner, I enjoy escaping to the backcountry for a little flying off the beaten path, volunteering with pilots n’ paws, or taking a trip to my hometown to visit my family and friends.
