I live and breathe aviation. Becoming a
pilot is one thing, but becoming a
professional aviator is a whole nother
level. We travel all around the
country in the world representing six
hundred sixty thousand total Force
Airmen. We love coming out to the crowds. We love interacting with the crowds.
The most special time in my Thunderbird day is being able to go out and you talk to
that child who sees stars when they
see the jets flying. Being in the cockpit
just about every day and all the things
that I learned from Embry-Riddle directly
feed into my career. Embry-Riddle is a
unique school in the sense that is so
technologically advanced and so focused
towards aviation. I did some of my
courses in Afghanistan and most of the
other courses while I was in Italy. So,
the flexibility that Embry-Riddle
Aeronautical University specifically the
worldwide campus allowed me to complete
those courses to earn that degree. If
you're looking into the aviation field, my
advice would be - do it. It's truly an
exciting career field and an exciting
opportunity to be part of the
Thunderbirds.
