I’m from Chaska Minnesota which is a Southwest suburb of the Twin Cities. I’m currently a Senior at Minnesota State University, Mankato, and I am working on my Multi Engine Instructor (MEI) rating.


I got into aviation when I was just a little kid, I was mesmerized by flying and loved watching airplanes with my dad. As I grew up, I was exposed to flying commercially. After meeting some airline pilots and getting to tour the cockpit of the jets, I knew that I wanted to become a commercial pilot.


One of my favorite parts about my flight training at Minnesota State Mankato is the people I have been fortunate enough to work with such as instructors, dispatchers, maintenance and line service personnel! The people make it a such an enjoyable experience, but also, the nice facilities and the Piper aircraft make it that much better.


After graduation, I plan on getting to a regional airline once I get my hours as an instructor. I hope to work for one of the major airlines after gaining experience at one of the regional airlines!
