About

My passion for the aerospace world started long before I even started high school. I was always fascinated with planes and aviation as a whole. With my father's side of the family being heavily intertwined and serving with the US Air Force, that only made me want to dive into the world of aerospace more to apply that obtained knowledge and use it to further advance my pursuit to serve as a pilot within the USAF, continuing that family tradition that I hold so dear to my heart. The money that could be possibly earned here, can greatly boost this seemingly impossible dream into a reality. This further solidifies my chances of fulfilling my dream of not only serving within the most largest and powerful air force in the world as a pilot but also continuing that legacy that my family has kept for the past century.
