The aviation bug hit me as a child as I ran around airports while traveling with my mother to and from her native country, Honduras. My journey as a pilot began in Goodyear, Ariz. at the age of 14. My mother gifted me an introductory flight in the summer of 2008. That flight launched my aviation journey. I havenever looked back. I am very grateful to the many people who have helped me along the way, and I hope to pay it forward by helping fellow pilots. On my off-time, I stay active as a mentor with Professional Pilots of Tomorrow. I love watching mentees achieve their goals and I enjoy answering any questions they might have. Currently, I am a CRJ Captain based in Detroit, Mich. When I am not flying, I enjoy cooking and taking day-trips to the beach with my wife Halie.
