Flying on a professional level has always been a dream of mine since childhood. I attended North Carolina Central University where I double-majored in History and Geography and received my bachelor's degrees. I served as a member of the United States Air Force Reserve for eight years as a Jet Engine Mechanic. While serving my country in college, I also obtained an associate's degree from the Community College of the Air Force in History.

I got my start in aviation at a small FBO in Durham at the age of 17, this is where my journey to my dream began. In April of 2008 I received the opportunity to attend Airline Transport Professionals in Panama City FL. During my stay in Florida I received the best flight instruction and gained valuable flight experience which provided a solid foundation for my start as a Professional Pilot.
