Acquiring a flight instruction job shortly after graduation in Gaithersburg, Maryland I quickly gained valuable experience not only improving my flying skills but also working with many different people and a verity of diverse personality types. After a successful start as a flight instructor and commercial pilot I was given the opportunity to be involved in our companies FAR Part 135 air charter division. Accepting the challenge I became Airline Transport Pilot certified and dual qualified in both a BE58 Beechcraft Baron and PA31-325 Piper Navajo. Adapting to the Northeast's awesome and sometimes unforgiving weather systems, busy terminal environments and specific flight procedures I continued to gain experience towards my goal of becoming an airline pilot.

In 2004 the commercial aviation industry began to turn around following the unfortunate post September 11th slowdown. I interviewed with many airlines accepting a First Officer position with a US Airways Express carrier. I currently hold an Airline Transport, Pilot In Command qualification and type rating in the SAAB 340/B aircraft based in Norfolk-Virgina Beach, Virginia.
