“I trained at Leading Edge from 2012 to 2015. After graduating, I flew a news R44 in Kansas City, then moved into tours, wildlife, and survey work in an R44 out of Northwest Arkansas. In 2017, I headed to Alaska to fly AS350 glacier tours with TEMSCO in Skagway. That experience led me to the airline side, where I spent four years flying the EMB145 for a regional carrier before joining Delta Air Lines in 2022. I currently fly the 757 and 767 out of Atlanta. For the last four or five years, I’ve also been getting my helicopter fix flying UH-1 Hueys with a warbird group, doing airshows, ride events, and flyovers. The training I got at LEFA set the foundation for a career that’s taken me across multiple aircraft types and every corner of the industry.”
