Yes, I wanted to be a pilot.
I wasn't sure about helicopters, but definitely when I was little, looking up at the sky, seeing planes fly over, very much wanted to be involved in flight.
What took you to helicopters then?
Black Hawk Down, the film.
So the Ridley Scott film was just...
Not that I wanted to crash them, but you know.
Yeah, that's the opposite.
But just seeing them and seeing that movie and that came out around the same time that I was like 13.
So like, it was kind of like that formative years of just like, I want to be a part of something greater and I want to fly.
And those machines just looked incredible.
And so you started as a mechanic, though, right?
I did.
I did.
Yeah.
So I started as a helicopter mechanic.
My recruiter told me that's the best way to become a pilot is to learn everything about the helicopter.
Not sure if that was entirely accurate.

But there was a pathway to go straight to flight.
