One week after passing my ATP check-ride, I had my first flight as a Captain on the Learjet 45. Of all places to go, we flew to Knoxville, the same destination as my first ever flight in Learjet year over 2 years ago.

Feeling lucky to have made it to this milestone in my career. Thank you to everyone who has supported my journey!

We’ve known each other for most of our youth and we would have never guessed this is what our future held. What a highlight in our careers to land back to back in different jets and share the ramp 👩🏼‍✈️👨🏼‍✈️

I really enjoyed working with this father and son combo. I’m so proud of Tod Sr. and Tod Jr. They just passed their Private Pilot checkrides on the same day! Cannot wait to see where your new licenses take y’all

It’s hard to believe on this date 2 years ago I passed my CFI checkride.

Time quite literally flies by.

Looking back on the past couple years it is clear I would not be where I am today had I not pursued becoming a CFI.

The people I’ve met, the places we’ve been, and the challenges of everything in between have been a priceless experience.

During a time of uncertainty in the industry Flight instruction was the only work I could find. You’ll hear it from many others in aviation to get your flight instructor certificate. My only regret is that I wish I would have listened to them sooner.

(And yes this picture was actually taken at Ryan Field 😉)

When I took this photo the other day I thought it encapsulated corporate aviation however this is truly a highlight.

I really enjoy capturing moments like this as I think it serves as a window into an area of aviation that was at a point in time difficult for me to understand. I didn’t understand how you got into it or why people preferred it over the airlines.

I can say now with the little experience I have that it can offer some pretty unique opportunities and take you to some fun destinations. Most of all it’s the people you meet and the relationships you form in this career that give so much value to the job. As corporate pilots we typically fly with the same crew so you get to build a camaraderie through sharing those unique experiences.

As I continue to learn the ins and outs of the business I hope to be of some assistance to those that are curious or wanting to know more about how to get into the corporate side of aviation so please don’t hesitate to ask. And for those legends that have been in the game for a while I always appreciate advice and insight into navigating this pathway.
