My passion in life has always been flying. My earliest memory, at the age of four, is sitting in a helicopter at my uncle’s change of command (a formal military ceremony) thinking, "This is the coolest thing I have ever seen!" However, my obsession truly started while I listened to my Grandpa’s riveting stories of flying in the Pacific Theater during World War II.
