I was born and raised as a “good ole southern boy” in the outskirts of Atlanta, GA, and from the time I could walk I have had baseball and aviation in my blood.  When my baseball career ended abruptly my freshman year in college I immediately took to aviation, and I have been flying ever since.  Shortly after I began flying, my Christian faith radically changed my life and my aspirations within the helicopter industry shifted to that of becoming a missionary pilot in Papua New Guinea.  The accomplishment of this goal is still in the distance, but Palm Beach Helicopters is preparing the way by molding me into the best pilot I can be.
