About Me

Let’s see I grew up in Lincoln, NE. Growing up I had this harebrain idea that I wanted to be a pilot. So after going to college for just that here I am a FO (first officer) working for American Eagle, and for all those pilot junkies yea I have been there over 7.5 years and yes still an FO, flying the Eagle heavy the CRJ-700, for those that don’t know that is a 70 passenger jet. They kept telling me that some day I will make captain, and finally the time has come I get to start training next month too bad it is a little puddle jumper and makes loads of noise. So it will be bye bye CRJ-700 and Hello Saab 340.Some times I even miss San Juan for things like this .....

My Interests

Flying, good thing I do it for work couldn't afford to do it any other way.Just trying to learn how to play golf, but once again I find myself on the DL, I guess you never stop trying to learn that one.I like watching all kinds of sports when I get the chance, but I have to admit seeing them live is always better.

I'd like to meet:

Well the list is long and distinguished....

Music:

It really just depends on the mood but not too into hip hop, but I got to admit I got to have my Zombie, Pantera, Metalica, Aerosmyth...

Movies:

Movies well I will watch just about any of them.But I love a lot of the comedies from the 70’s and 80’s, you know stuff like Spies Like Us, Captain Ron, Goonies, and the mother of all the Blues Brothers stuff like that.

Television:

I tend to watch the CSIs, NCIS, numbers, and Prison Break.
