I'm originally from Colorado. Flying is my passion and I'll do anything to stay in the air. I like to go skiing, hiking, camping and pretty much anything else outdoors. Some of my favorite times have been on the ski slopes or hiking trails with my family. I love the freedom of flying and knew that's what I wanted to do with my life since I was six. The time I've spent traveling recently has really opened my eyes to part of the world, I can't wait to see more of it. That said, a weekend with a good book or at the movies is not misspent. I'm also a huge CrossFit fan and am Level 1 certified. I want to learn to surf and skydive. I listen to everything but tend to focus in country, rock, and pop. I'm living my dream job and loving every minute of it.

I'm a Marine pilot and will be moving to Meridian in May. Long term I would like to become a Test Pilot for the military, if that does work I'll probably settle into an airline job with some civilian flying on the side. I'd like to become a competitive aerobatic pilot, own a CrossFit gym, and continue to be in the outdoors.

Flying! seeing the positive side of a situation and staying optimistic about life.

I love to read. Some of my favorites include the entire Jack Ryan series by Tom Clancy, Starship Troopers, Gates of Fire, Ender's Game. Movies include mostly action with some others. The original Star Wars, Indiana Jones, 300, TOPGUN, Shooter, Schindler's List, Love Actually, Good Will Hunting, Act of Valor, the new Tron. For food I always enjoy a good steak and sushi.

How to improve in life. My organization, fitness, self discipline, diet, etc. I like to stay curious about the world and where I would want to travel next.

Out in DC with friends, home with a good book, or seeing a new movie.
