I began flying while attending Embry-Riddle Aeronautical
University in Prescott, AZ. I graduated with
a Bachelor of Science in Aeronautical Science and a
Minor in Safety. My first flying job was Flight Instructing at Air San Luis in San Luis Obispo, CA.
Next,
I flew for Scenic Airlines, conducting scenic tours
of the Grand Canyon, and was based in Sedona, AZ,
and Las Vegas, NV. During this time period, I completed
training for scholarships that I earned from The Ninety-Nines
(MEI) and ISA+21 (ATP). My first airline
job was flying the Beech 1900D for Air Midwest.
My bases included: Kansas City, MO; Omaha,
NE; and Hays, KS.
Eventually,
I reached my dream of flying
for a major airline when I was hired by US Airways
to fly the B737-200 out of Baltimore, MD. Then, just like
a number of people I was furloughed after
September 11th. After six months of involuntary vacation
I was lucky to be hired by Great Plains Airlines.
I flew the Dornier 328 jet out of Tulsa, OK.
My current career path has taken me to the fractional
industry with NetJets Aviation. I flew the Gulfstream
200 as Second in Command and am now an IOE Captain
on the Hawker 400XP. Now I have the best base of
them all--flying from my home in Denver, CO!
