Went to Baylor University and started flying at 18yrs old in August 2000. Jan 8th 2002 picked up my private. I was having a hell of a time with college and the school was short handed, then 9/11 hit. Graduated in August 2005. After hurricane rita hit I went to a place offering quick hours flying radio relay up and down the gulf coast for helicopter companies. Did roughly 300hrs in 6weeks. However the guy I was working for screwed me and only paid me $1500. Then came out here to the desert where I do initial flight screening for the airforce and have flown more in a C-172 than anyone should really want to. Made a good living though. But it's time to move on.
