I'm currently a First Officer with a major airline where I have been flying the Boeing 717 for over 6 years. Before I came to this airline, I was with a commuter for almost 5 years, and instructed/flew privately for 2 years prior to that. I have 6000+ hours of which most of that is jet (part 121) time. My degree is not related to aviation. I didn't begin the aviation route until I was in my 30's, even though it was a passion of my since grade school.
I love aviation (I love what I do), and hope to continue flying until retirement. My job facilitates, both economically and with sufficient time off/travel, my other passions (skiing, sailing, and diving with my family).
