WHO AM I?
Hailing from the concrete jungle of New York City, specifically Brooklyn, I am a lover of aviation. Airplanes have fascinated me for as far as I can remember. Waking up to the sounds of airplanes screaming out of JFK, I knew that I was destined for the skies. I officially made aviation an intricate part of my life when I attended and graduated from Aviation High School in Long Island City, Queens. Upon completing my tenure there, I attained my FAA Airframe and Powerplant licenses and went on to work in the airline industry as an aviation maintenance technician. Fast forward to now, I am still in the airline industry, teaching the B737NG to fellow maintenance technicians and I have added being a commercial pilot and flight instructor to my bag of tricks! In my free time you can catch me buzzing around the metro Atlanta area in my newly rebuilt 1978 Bellanca Decathlon and living out my dreams!
