John,

My wife is entirely understanding and in full support of my life's ambitions as much as I am of hers. She's from a small town in central Europe and is giving up everything she's known to build a life with me in America. I tried to scare her off with the realities of aviation but alas, we are married.

I guess at nearly 28 years of age, I am feeling old and anxious, ready to make that leap.

As I mentioned, I am grateful for a job at a good company that allows me to choose to pursue something so fulfilling to me. It's also provided me the opportunity to learn an entirely different industry (re-manufacturing/rail products) and business systems (quality management). Not to mention also meeting some great people. But I am bored of doing something entirely non-fulfilling 11 hours a day. However, I couldn't imagine having an 80,000 dollar loan around my neck so I don't think I would change anything. I stress to anyone thinking about taking on debt to reconsider, hard.

My intent is to work full-time and instruct during the nights and on weekends and see how things looking going into 2016, depending on my housing situation.

As this point I really enjoy the process of teaching and look forward to it but Ameriflight, or Aperature Aviation would be fantastic also; Skywest would be a dream.

Thank you John, for your kind words of encouragement. I appreciate it.
